Barca signs Antoine Griezmann

FC Barcelona has paid the 120 million euro buyout clause to release Antoine Griezmann from Atlético Madrid.

The player has signed a contract with his new club for the next five seasons, through to 30 June 2024, with a buyout clause of 800 million euros.

The French international has had his heart set on an exit as he released a video of himself thanking Atletico Madrid for all their support.

He, however, deleted the video and was ordered by the club to refrain from such activities.

Barcelona had been reluctant to pay his release clause from Atletico Madrid although the deal has been on the table for months.

The World Cup winner finally earns his dream move to Barcelona after months of speculation.
