Antoine Griezmann's move to Barcelona may not happen

Jul 25, 2019

The Spanish League could block Antoine Griezmann's move from Atletico Madrid to Barcelona, due to a dispute over the fee.

Barca activated Griezmann's 120 million-euro release clause earlier this month, but Atletico are complaining that the Catalan side had actually reached a deal with the player much earlier, when the clause was set at 200 million.

Atletico are now seeking the higher amount, and have asked La Liga to intervene.
