Griezmann will leave Atletico Madrid after five seasons this summer
He has long been expected to make the step up to one of the truly elite clubs of European football, with a transfer saga last summer only coming to an end when he announced his intention to stay in Madrid in the La Decision TV special.
There was allegedly another film planned for this summer, but Atleti forced Griezmann to admit he wants to leave when they got wind of the video ahead of time.
So, now Griezmann’s impending departure has been confirmed, he is expected to leave for Camp Nou over the coming weeks.
It’s fair to say the Catalan press are not entirely behind the decision to sign Griezmann, however.

Mundo Deportivo wrote on Friday, as per Sport Witness, that Barca remain unhappy the France international rejected them last summer to remain with Atleti, and they want Griezmann to publicly admit he wants to join Ernesto Valverde’s side.
Another local paper, Sport, go in even harder on Griezmann’s rumoured move to Barcelona.
They are forthright in their opinion that signing the 28-year-old can only be a bad thing for the club, as it would go against all Barcelona’s historic morals.
“To sign Griezmann is to end any show of respect for the colours,” the story reads. “It is to become PSG, to become a club that cares little for everything that has nothing to do with money and to win. Win at whatever price.

“It is taking the shovel, digging a hole and burying everything that smells of those values.”
Sport Witness add that the article ends: “To sign Griezmann is to make the arrogant child who jokes about his classmates the captain of the school team.
“The decision, now, is in the hands of Barca.
