Atletico Madrid confirm permanent signing of Griezmann from Barcelona
Atletico Madrid have confirmed the permanent signing of Antoine Griezmann from Barcelona, with the striker signing a contract until June 2026.
Griezmann returned to Atleti on a two-year loan at the start of last season after a relatively disappointing few campaigns at Camp Nou.
Diego Simeone's side would have had to pay Barcelona 40 million euros if Griezmann played a certain number of minutes, which has limited his playing time this season.
The France international has played in all eight of his side's La Liga matches, but has played 30 minutes or less in six of those competitions.
However, Atletico announced on their official website on Monday that an agreement has been reached for Griezmann to officially become their player again.
Barcelona sporting director Mateu Alemany said on Sunday that Atleti would pay just under €20m for the 31-year-old.
Griezmann is in his seventh season as a two-spell Atletico player and has made 403 appearances for the club, scoring 144 times in all competitions.
