Mateu Alemany has offered some important updates during Sunday’s General Assembly.
The sporting director has confirmed an agreement has finally been reached for Antoine Griezmann to move to Atletico Madrid permanently.
“It has been closed this week and I think that, in my opinion, it has been important because we took away an important salary,” he said.
The purchase option in Griezmann’s two-year loan deal was reportedly set at €40 million but it’s thought the forward will go to Atletico for half that amount.
Alemany also looked to the future and hinted that Barcelona would continue to try and bring in free agents.
