Xavi confirms agreement between Barca and Atletico Madrid over Antoine Griezmann
UEFA Europa Champions League group B”Club Brugge – Atletico Madrid”
Xavi has now confirmed that the theater around Antoine Griezmann has come to an end.
Xavi confirmed at a press conference on Saturday afternoon that FC Barcelona have reached an agreement with Atletico Madrid regarding Antoine Griezmann. The Frenchman is currently on loan to La Liga contenders.
Atletico secured a purchase obligation of 40 million euros with Griezmann’s loan deal, which would only have applied to a certain number of missions over 30 minutes. In order to avoid this, the 31-year-old was almost only forced to do short assignments.
The two clubs have agreed on a compromise so that only sporting arguments will play a role at Griezmann in the future. “It’s not official yet but you can hear that the clubs have reached an agreement. From here we wish the player all the best,” explained Barca coach Xavi on the PK.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Atletico now only have to pay 20 million euros for the attacking player’s services. Another four million euros could be added as a bonus payment. In the summer of 2019, the Catalans paid 120 million euros for the world champion.
