Atletico Madrid and Barcelona happy with Griezmann arrangement

Antoine Griezmann is remaining with Atletico Madrid next season.

The France attacker has spent this term on-loan with Atleti from Barcelona.

Sport says after the dinner between Atletico GM Miguel Gil Marin and Barcelona sporting director Mateu Alemany, what's clear is that Griezmann will stay 100 per cent at Atletico Madrid next season.

The forward has a two year loan deal with a €40m obligatory buy clause after the second year, if Antoine plays at least 50 per cent of minutes.

Coach Diego Simeone and Atletico are content with Griezmann and will respect the clauses. However they have been looking for another way to pay, hoping not to have to stump up the cash, and a player swap option could be involved.
