The CEO of Atletico Madrid, Miguel Ángel Gil Marín, has calmly revealed that Antoine Griezmann will be playing at the Camp Nou next season.
When asked about the French forward's future club, Gil Marin said: "I know exactly where he's going to play. I've known since March. At Barcelona," he told Radio Estadio.
"There are players who feel they are greater than the squad, we have to form a group of men," hinting at Griezmann wanting out.
After France's last match against Andorra, Griezmann said: "You need to be a little patient. It's too soon. I'm the first person who wants to say my future plans but at the moment we have to wait. I don't know if I'll remain in LaLiga. Perhaps in two weeks we'll know more."
It appears that reveal has come sooner than expected - and not from Griezmann himself.

Wow, that is a good news, am happy because we need him in the team but am not sure if the players would want him because of what he did last season, he has the opportunity to join but he declined, this is an another opportunity for him, I hope he joins soon. Good Luck Griezmann

A very good one, I think we need to give him a chance! He is a very good player and will shine next to Messi! Then everyone would enjoy watching Real Madrid and Barcelona playing against their rivals! Welcome to barca Grizzy!

Great news that Griezman is joining Barca. He can turn a game around on his own. He can play in any position and would also be magic as a target man. Covering for Suarez would not be a problem for this incredible player. If he is played on the left wing he could make magic in Neymar’s old position. I love his football skills but have a problem with his carry on. Also , I still find it difficult to forgive him for his dive in the World Cup final. His resulting free kick led to the first goal for France 🇫🇷. Still, I sit in wonder at his football ability.and it is wonderful to watch him play.
