"Atletico" club from Madrid continues to strengthen. Led by Diego Simeone, the team officially acquired Antoine Griezmann, who previously played for the San Sebastian "Real Sociedad" team. It is reported that the Spanish champions agreed to pay the 30 million buyout stipulated in the player's contract, although the clubs do not officially disclose the transfer fees. It is said that the 23-year-old forward was also of interest to the "Monaco" club and English trio - "Liverpool", "Arsenal" and "Tottenham" teams. "Atletico" club needed to strengthen because the team lost forwards Diego Costa, David Villa, and Adrian Lopez, defender Felipe Luis, and goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois this summer. However, the team from Munich "Bayern" was reinforced by Mario Mandzukic, and the team also acquired Angel Correa, defender Guilherme Siqueira, and two goalkeepers - Jan Oblak and Miguel Angel Moya. A. Griezmann mostly plays on the left attacking flank, but has also played as a striker and right winger. The Frenchman joined "Real Sociedad" at the age of 13 and is a product of the team's youth academy. During his time at "La Real", A. Griezmann played 202 matches, scoring 53 goals. Last season, in over 50 official matches, the player scored 20 goals.
