Almost Official : Antoine Griezmann joins Atletico Madrid

Lol lets take a moment to acknowledge what a goddamn pleb he is, making such a fuss about his "tough" decision to stay and recording a documentary just to leave in the next window ffs its actually unreal how deluded this man is.

I forgot about this.



A year later, he leaves anyway.

It was always a year to year thing... his release clause in every year of his new contract was 120 mil from July 1 to September 1.... and 200 mil otherwise.

So he could always leave if someone was willing to pay 120 mil during the summer transfer windows.

He wants to play for an elite team that plays good football. Sure he's tired of being the only true scoring threat on an underdog team that plays defensively.

Not sure why Madrid aren't trying to sign him... really wondering why. Hazard and Grizzy with Benzema in the middle would be more than fine. He defends too.

In fact, I wouldn't count Zidane out of this one, which is why I'm writing this.

so how much did he cost

120 mil release clause takes effect July 1. So 120 mil euros.

how old is he 28. so 250mil on 3 players so far. lots of expectation on them for next season. madrid will show there hand soon with hazard and pogba. should get a good title race next season.

Antoine is off to visit his horses. Funky French music accompanies his trip. Lovely French countryside. A spot of boules, then some karting. But none of it can resolve his existential doubt: "I don't know what to do" he laments.

Pointless transfer. I just hope I'm wrong and he delivers the goods.

Where is he going to play ? He occupies the exact same spots as Messi

Hope this does not happen.

according to cadena ser Bayern and Man City are also favorites to sign him

theres still hope

L'equipe also mentions PSG have met with his agent.

That is what I thought as well, also his wages will be astronomical!

According to Cadena Ser, Atlético found out this melt was preparing another documentary about leaving Atletico so they rushed the announcement he is leaving via that hostage like video on their official site. They didnt want to let him control the narrative again like last summer.

Other sources are saying Atletico are glad he is leaving lol

god what an absolute twat

pray4barca

actually no

laugh @ barca

In other news, PSG have contacted his agent and they want to sign him. He made a commitment to barca and his wife wants to stay in Spain but he hasn't signed anything. PSG are gonna throw money at him

He's 28. His prime isn't over. 3 more year imo.

He'll suit PSG's policy of signing guys who can't actually improve their midfield or defense. I hope it happens.

Why does Messi agree to these signings? He needs runners, players who move away from the ball, not players who will move closer to him. Griezmann isn't really a 9 and I doubt Suarez is going to get benched even though he should be getting benched. We will probably see all three of them play together.

Building around Messi should be the easiest thing in football.

A reference point upfront who can pin the centrebacks and have the technical ability to link up with him.

Wingers who make constant inside and outside runs so he can find them with his passes.

Midfielders who can get the ball to him high up the pitch (line-breaking passes) so he doesn't drop deep (one of the midfielders being a donkey who can balance his movements and compensate for his laziness).

Imagine if he had someone like Mbappe as his LW, hell Barca should be going for someone like Sane rather than Griezmann.

Barca board making shit signings, what else is new.

Agreed 100%. It is astonishing to see someone on a forum knows more than the whole Barcelona board ffs

Antoine Griezmann was preparing to release another documentary 'La Decision 2.0' to announce that he was leaving Atlético Madrid. The club found out and told him to stop making documentaries and forced him to publish the video we all saw earlier this week. (Source: Cadena SER)

This transfer makes absolutely no sense for Barca, from the moral pov as well as from the sporting pov. Unless they're aiming to sell Suarez which i'd be happy with but replacing him with a French melt is not ideal but I guess it plays to Barca's nature of being unlikeable cucks.

maybe i'm mistaken am i the only one here who thinks girezmann is a good player? i'd take him at madrid in a heartbeat
