OFFICIAL: Antoine Griezmann signs for FC Barcelona on a five-year deal
The French forward, via his representatives, deposited his €120m buyout clause with LaLiga this afternoon so he can finally complete his move to the Camp Nou
Antoine Griezmann is officially an FC Barcelona player. After his lawyer deposited his €120m buyout clause with LaLiga, the French forward was then free to complete his move to the Camp Nou.
Griezmann will now be presented as a Barça player and be available to get started working under Ernesto Valverde from day one.
This brings an end to Griezmann's long stay at Atletico and he becomes one of Barça's star signings this summer.
12 months ago, Griezmann felt the right decision was to remain in Madrid. However, this time is completely different and he told Atletico of his intention to leave back in May.
