Atletico Madrid and Barcelona have reached a complete agreement for Antoine Griezmann to become a permanent Rojiblanco player until 2026.
After resolving the remaining details (the contract has a bunch of clauses), the Frenchman is now an Atletico player.
It is an agreement that convinces all three parties: Atletico because they don’t have to pay the 40 million euros defined in his loan move from the summer of 2021.
Barcelona because they get rid of a very high salary for a player who is not in their plans, and the player himself because he will be able to play as a starter (he has only done so twice this season) whenever Diego Simeone considers it appropriate.
The agreement will see Atletico pay 20 million euros (plus 2 million euros in possible variables) and tie Greizmann to the club until 2026.
The Frenchman made an effort to lower his salary to play for the club as well.
