La Liga statement

The name of Griezmann was linked weeks ago with the possibility of returning to Atletico Madrid again in a reciprocal deal for its hero, Saul Niguez, but Barcelona did not reach an agreement with the Spanish champion to remain the French international..

Barcelona made an offer to borrow Felix from Atletico, but the capital club rejected the offer, so Blaugrana made a new offer, exchanging it for Griezmann.

Press reports indicate that Atletico coach Diego Simeone will be happy with Griezmann’s return, but club president Enrique Cerezo is not convinced of Joao Felix’s departure..
