The transfer window for the summer of 2021 closes tonight (Tuesday-Wednesday) and Killian Ambape did not move a team, but a senior Frenchman later: Antoine Griezmann was sent by Barcelona back to Atletico Madrid, in a triple "chair game" in which Saul Niggs was loaned from Spanish champions Chelsea and Luke De Jong joined the Catalans from Sevilla. A few minutes into the deadline there was still a fear that the deals would not be completed, but right at 23:59 Spanish time the documents approved by the local league were sent only in the wee hours of the night.



In fact, the Barcelona management wanted throughout the window to get rid of the disappointing Griezmann, especially in light of his huge salary - about 35 million euros per season, although public statements, including that of coach Ronald Coman, contradicted this and claimed that the Frenchman is an important player on the team.



The striker closed a two-year term in Catalonia, during which his share fell significantly and in his last game he even received contempt whistles from the fans at the Camp Nou.

Griezmann, for whom Barcelona paid 120 million euros in 2019, was sold back to the team he came from for about a third of the above amount (10 million euros on loan and another 40 million for his purchase next summer) and now he hopes to restore the ability he displayed in his previous episode under Diego Simeone .

Catalonia newspapers also parted ways with the striker, who made 102 appearances for the team, scoring 35 goals and 16 assists in all competitions.

"Griezmann to Atletico" was the official headline in "Mundo Deportivo", while on the cover of "Sport" they simply gave the Frenchman "Bye Bye!".

In the player's homeland, by the way, the move was viewed favorably and as of this morning, in a poll conducted by L'Equipe 83% of voters thought a return to Madrid was good for Griezmann.



In his place, as mentioned, Koeman received the '9 'he asked for especially in light of his acquaintance with Luc de Jong from his time as coach of the Dutch national team.

The man who was only recently mentioned as a candidate to strengthen Eran Zehavi's PSV Eindhoven, the team in which De Jong starred for five seasons and became a sergeant, will now join an attacking squad that includes Memphis Depay, Anso Patti, Sergio Aguero who will return from injury only next month, Osman Dembele And Martin Braithwaite.
