Griezmann halved his salary to join Atletico

Goal claimed that Antoine Griezmann had reduced his salary by 40% in order to leave Barcelona and join

.

Griezmann completed his transfer to Atletico Madrid on the final day of the transfer and returned to Madrid on a one-year loan deal. The French star was one of several players to leave Barcelona in the summer transfer window to join another team. Due to its critical economic situation, Barca was unable to retain several of its players, including Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann. But the French star has an exceptional sacrifice that contributes a lot to the club's economic situation.

Goal claims that Griezmann has almost halved his salary to move to Wanda Metropolitano. He returned to the club where he spent five seasons and his brilliant performance on the team persuaded Barca to sign him in 2019.

Atletico will not pay Griezmann this season, but if they want to extend the loan deal for another year, the necessary payments will be made next summer. Also, according to the clauses of the contract, if Atletico intends to attract Griezmann permanently, they will have to pay 40 million euros to the club. Griezmann joined Barcelona from Atletico in the summer of 2019 for € 120 million. He did not perform well at the club, scoring 35 goals in 102 games.
