Luis Suarez takes Antoine Griezmann signing as done
The Uruguayan forward was speaking to the media in his country, on Radio Rincon
In January SPORT revealed that Antoine Griezmann and FC Barcelona had a deal for the forward to join this summer. And now Luis Suarez has given away the fact Griezmann will join from Atletico Madrid on Radio Rincon, a station in Uruguay, as noted by Cadena SER in Spain.
The forward said: "It makes the club proud to bring players of this quality like Antoine, like Dembele and Coutinho came. He's a player who brings a huge amount, he has a lot of years playing at the highest level, always fighting. He rules up front for Atletico and that is fundamental.
"He is not coming to take the place of anyone, but with the ambition of winning important things. He will be welcome."
Barcelona will have to pay Griezmann's 100 million euros release clause to sign him. Nothing is 100 per cent agreed but it seems like he will sign for 5 seasons and be one of the best paid players in the squad. He could form a new trident with Leo Messi and Luis Suarez.
