Atletico Madrid have reached an agreement with LaLiga rivals Barcelona for the permanent transfer of Antoine Griezmann.
France forward Griezmann had been on loan at Atletico since August 2021 but was recently limited to 30-minute cameos due to financial clauses in the deal.
According to reports, the two-year loan agreement stipulated Atletico would have to pay Barcelona 40million euros (£35m) to make the move permanent if the 31-year-old World Cup winner played more than 45 minutes in more than 50 per cent of games.
