Official: Barcelona announced the signing of Antoine Griezmann

Catalans made the big purchase of the summer after paying 120 million euros to the Atletico Madrid for the star and he signed to be in years with a release clause of 800 million euros. Expected to be shown at Camp Nou in Rishon Letzion. Athletic announced that it had begun legal proceedings. Will Neiman come too?

Now it's official: Antoine Grisman is a Barcelona player. The Spanish champions announced on Friday that they had paid the £ 120 million release of the French star at Atletico Madrid and signed it for five seasons until 2024, becoming the 25th Frenchman in the history of the club to wear the Blaugrana uniform. By the way, Grisman's release clause in his new group will be no less than 800 million euros.

Earlier today, the Hechalutz's lawyer was expected to arrive at La Liga offices this afternoon to pay the release clause. Earlier this morning, senior Spanish media reported unanimously that the deal would be carried out today after yesterday's president, Josep Maria Bartomeu signed a document confirming the payment of 120 million euros, and the most expensive transfer ever in the history of "La Liga".

According to Radio Catalonia, his new group is expected to present it on a camp-free day without an audience. He will begin training with his new friends on Sunday under Ernesto and Alvarado and join an attacking squad that includes Leo Messi and Luis Suarez.

Recently, what delayed the completion of the deal was the economic aspect, since Barca preferred to pay in installments so that it would have more freedom in terms of purchasing this summer. Philippa Cotugno is expected to be sold, and Osman Dembla, Samuel Omatiti, and Ivan Rakitich may find themselves in another group this season.

Those who did not really like the Barcelona Declaration is Atletico Madrid. Gruzman's group has so far issued an official statement claiming that 120 million euros paid were insufficient to activate the French release clause and that Barca had to pay 200 million euros. This is because the star summed up his conditions at the Champions League last March, even before the release clause officially declined, and even before May 14, when he officially announced that he would leave the Spanish capital. The colonists announced that they had already begun legal proceedings to protect their rights.
