ANTOINE STAYS IN MADRID

Atletico Madrid have confirmed that Antoine Griezmann will stay at the club beyond this season's loan from Barcelona as expected. Having made the switch to Camp Nou in controversial circumstances in 2019, Griezmann made his way back to Atletico last summer as part of a desperate attempt by Barça to trim their wage bill. The terms of the Griezmann deal were an initial one-year loan with the option for a second season on loan, which can be triggered by either club, and also an obligation for an eventual 40-million Euros permanent transfer by 2023 at the latest.
