The French forward will sign his new contract with Barça next week to avoid clashing with Frenkie de Jong's presentation
Antoine Griezmann will complete his move to FC Barcelona next week. According to 'L'Equipe', Barça want to avoid any announcement clashing with Frenkie de Jong's presentation on Friday. Once Griezmann's buyout clause was reduced to €120m, Atletico and Barça quickly agreed on terms on the instalments for the deal. It'll be paid in three parts. As revealed by SPORT a few days ago, the deal will actually cost a little over €120m - €126m - as to avoid paying it in one lump sum.
Josep Maria Bartomeu has been in charge of getting this deal over the line. They are already working hard in the offices at the Camp Nou to get everything ready for another major presentation next week.
Griezmann will form an attacking trident with Messi and Suarez as they await word on Neymar's transfer. If he joins as well, it's hard to think of a bettering attacking lineup in the world.
