Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann will sign a five-year contract at Barcelona worth €17m per year, according to reports
It is claimed by L’Equipe - as cited by Marca - that the player will join the Blaugrana at the start of July when his release clause drops from €200m to €120m.
Atleti are keen to include Barca full-back Nelson Semedo in negotiations but the Catalan giants are reluctant to sanction that part of the negotiations.
Griezmann, 28, penned a long-term contract at Los Rojiblancos last summer after rejecting interest from Barcelona, who had pursued a deal.
Despite those previous misgivings, it has been widely reported that Barca have been in talks since March to land their long-term target this summer.
Paris Saint-Germain have also been linked with a move for the France international but it now looks increasingly likely he will remain in La Liga.
Griezmann has scored 21 goals across all competitions last season for Diego Simeone’s side and has grown into one of the world’s most in-demand players since his move from Real Sociedad in 2014.

Griezmann and Messi probably have 2-3 more good seasons left in them before they start to decline. They should probably start looking for replacements and training them before these guys get too old

How is this going to work though? are Barca planning on using a front 2? that means Barca fans have to brace themselves for some sort of defencive football. Idk if that would sit well with the fans at Nou Camp. It makes sense considering Fraudverde is actually a defencive minded manager and Griezmann played under the La Liga version of Mourinho in Simeone. At this rate Tiki taka could die in the coming years..... All I'm saying is if Messi leaves, Barca will suffer heavily. I dont see Griezmann being able to do anything after hes 30+...

Congratulation Griezman. Barcelona finally singed a great player. But I think that Neymar transfer should be stopped £350 is huge. This money Barcelona should buy 5 Griezman

Having Griezmann, Neymar, Suarez & Messi in one team doesn't guarantee UCL success it only guarantees fights of who will take penalties & freekicks
