Atletico Madrid have confirmed the signing of Antoine Griezmann from Barcelona, with the Frenchman remain at Wanda Metropolitano until the summer of 2026.

The 31-year-old initially represented Los Rojiblancos between 2014 and 2019, contributing 133 goals from 257 appearances in all competitions.

He left for Barca ahead of the 2019-20 campaign, but has struggled to cement his place at the Catalan giants and returned on loan to Atletico in August 2021.

Griezmann scored eight times for Atletico last season before the loan deal was extended for another season, and he racked up 11 appearances this term, with three goals and two assists.

“The French striker signed his new contract for three more seasons,” read a statement on the capital outfit’s official website.

“Atletico de Madrid and FC Barcelona have reached an agreement over the transfer of Antoine Griezmann, who since the summer of 2021 and until now had played for our club on loan from FC Barcelona. In addition, the French striker has signed a contract that will link him to our club until 30 June 2026.”

Griezmann is expected to start in the Champions League encounter with Club Brugge on Wednesday night.
