Antoine Griezmann to play for Barcelona next season

Last month, French star Antoine Griezmann announced that he would be leaving Atletico Madrid during the summer transfer window, with a ton of speculation and rumors as Barcelona being his preferred landing spot. In what has felt like the worst kept secret, Atleti CEO Angel Gil Marin told Movistar on Wednesday that he’s known since March that Griezmann would be playing for Barcelona next season.”I’ve been certain where Griezmann will play next season since March-Barcelona,” Gil Marin said. It’s worth noting that while Griezmann has announced his departure from the Madrid club, he has yet to announce where he will be playing next. The same goes for Barcelona. No announcement has been made by either sides, and we all know plenty can happen during the silly season.
