Griezmann - Move to Barca under scrutinyAtletico Madrid has submitted an official complaint to La Liga over the transfer of Antoine Griezmann to Barcelona.
Atleti claim the deal was done between Barca and the player before the release clause on Griezmann’s contract dropped from 200m euros to 120m euros on July 1. Consequently they are claiming that Barca should pay the larger amount.
La Liga president Javier Tebas told Onda Cero, “It is possible to block a player’s transfer. La Liga will have to decide upon the course of action to take.”
Tebas confirmed a process had been set in motion and those involved will need to arrive at a resolution.
