Atletico Madrid have hit out at Barcelona after president Josep Maria Bartomeu said on Friday the club have been in contact with Los Colchoneros over a deal for Antoine Griezmann.
The Frenchman announced before the end of the season he would be leaving the club in the summer transfer window and has been heavily linked with a move to the Camp Nou.
Atletico CEO Gil Marin has previously said he’s known since March Griezmann will head to Barcelona, and the club have now issued a strongly worded statement concerning the Frenchman.
