The French international must return to his former club, say our colleagues from L’Equipe in the last hours of the transfer window.
Antoine Griezmann will make his return to Atletico Madrid, two years after leaving the “rojiblanco” club. FC Barcelona and the reigning Spanish champion reached an agreement in the very last hours of the transfer window on Tuesday evening.
The 30-year-old French international is on loan from Barça with an option to buy, according to information from our colleagues from The team, confirmed by many other media.
Neither club has yet formalized this transaction on Tuesday evening, two hours before the market closes, scheduled for midnight.
A fou market
It is a new thunderclap in this footballing summer market, after the signing of Leo Messi (FC Barcelona) at Paris SG and another spectacular return, that of Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United.
The leader of the Blues, 30, transferred two years earlier for 120 million euros, returns to the club where he exploded and of which he wore the jersey for five seasons (2014-2019).
Heavily in debt, the Catalan club separates from a large salary. He had already not been able to keep his star Lionel Messi, left free and gone to PSG.
