Atletico Madrid are not obligated to pay Barça 40m this summer for Griezmann
The French striker is on loan there and it can be extended for another year
Atletico Madrid are not obligated to pay Barcelona 40m euros for Antoine Griezmann this summer, per Goal. They say the deal is for one year plus another optional year. If they take up that then they won’t have to pay until 2023, if he has played at least 50 of the games he has been available for.
Ruben Uria’s story details that the clubs will have to speak in the summer to see if the loan is going to be extended by a year.
If Atletico don’t sign Antoine this summer, they will have to pay Barcelona a fixed amount for the year of loan he has had there.
In any case what’s clear is that Barcelona will not be getting 40m euros this summer to spend on signings from Atletico. Most likely he will stay at Atletico on another year’s loan.
