On Tuesday after lunch, announcements about Antoine Griezmann's desire to leave Madrid's "Atletico" were confirmed within a day.
"Atletico" officially announced on their website that after a meeting with the footballer himself, they were informed that he wants to leave. The "Rojiblancos" also uploaded a video in which the Frenchman explains his decision.
"It's been an incredible five years. Thank you for everything, you will always be in my heart," – wrote A. Griezmann's words alongside the video.
It is certain that A. Griezmann will be sold to the "Barcelona" club. It has already been reported that the Catalans will acquire him for a sum of 125 million euros.
The 28-year-old Frenchman had received an offer from the "Barcelona" club last summer, but ultimately rejected this opportunity and signed a new contract with "Atletico". Later it turned out that this was only a temporary decision by the Frenchman.
In five years, A. Griezmann played 252 matches in the "Atletico" team, scored 133 goals, and won three titles.
