Antoine Griezmann Committed to Barcelona Amid Atletico Madrid Contract Rumours

Antoine Griezmann is reportedly committed to joining Barcelona in the summer, despite efforts from Atletico Madrid to tie him down on a new contract.

According to Le 10 Sport (h/t AS), the Frenchman has rejected the advances of Atleti to improve his current terms and increase his €100 million release clause because he has had a deal in place with the Blaugrana since the autumn, an initial agreement that has since been "firmed up."

It is believed he will take the No. 7 shirt at the Camp Nou, as the number has been vacant since Arda Turan moved on loan to Istanbul Basaksehir in January.
