The Frenchman is loaned to the ex-club by Barcelona. The purchase option is 40 million. In 2019 it had cost 120 million.
The French soccer world champion Antoine Griezmann returns to Atlético Madrid after two years. The star striker from FC Barcelona is awarded. In the summer of 2022 it can be bought for 40 million.
Griezmann moved to Barcelona in 2019 for 120 million euros. But he was never really able to build on his brilliant performances in Madrid. Again and again there was speculation about the departure of the 30-year-old, especially since the Catalans are pressing debts of 1.2 billion euros. Now they could at least save their salary. The transfer of Emerson Royal to the English Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur also brings in another 25 million euros.
Interesting for Yusuf Demir: The Viennese is now the only left foot on the Catalans offensive.
Successful past
Griezmann had his most successful time in Madrid. He scored 94 goals in 180 league games. He was far from getting this hit rate in Barcelona. In addition, he won the Europa League with coach Diego Simeone's team in 2018 and reached the Champions League final in 2016.
