It is now confirmed. Antoine Griezmann will not be Atletico Madrid s player next season. The player himself confirmed that on social media on Tuesday night.
After talking with Cholo [Diego Simeone], Miguel Angel and the people from the offices, I wanted to talk to the fans who have given me a lot of love, Griezmann said. I have decided to leave, see other things, have other challenges and with great difficulty, this is what I feel and I need.
It s been five great years where I ve won my first important trophies with a club. It s been a very important stage. I have enjoyed a lot, I have left everything in the field, I have tried to behave well, I have tried to give joy to the people who have come to the Metropolitano and also away from home, and I only have gratitude for all of you.
The players release clause sits at 125 million euros and Barcelona are the favourites to sign the Frenchman.
