This time things are clear.

Antoine Griezmann is from Madrid, without any restrictions and he will still be until 2026. This Wednesday morning, the Spanish website Mas Atlético revealed that an agreement had been reached between FC Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid for the final transfer of the 31-year-old Frenchman to the club in the Spanish capital, for 20 million euros.

There are still a few details to settle but the evolution of the file is no longer in doubt.

Barça and Atlético have agreed on a transfer fee of 20 million euros, to which will be added 5 million euros in bonuses depending on various sporting objectives.

Griezmann will therefore be able to chain the tenures as he did elsewhere in Bruges on Tuesday evening in the Champions League (2-0 defeat), after that in the league against Real Madrid (0-2) before the international break, two signs that the negotiations were progressing well.

The Madrid leaders are the big winners of this negotiation.
