Apparently, Antonio Griezmann is more than prepared this season to join Barcelona after he snubbed the move last season with reasons best known to him.
After he announced his move out of Atletico Madrid, many European clubs including Manchester United, Manchester City, PSG among others started salivating for his services.
Surprisingly, According to reports, a deal to take Griezmann to Barcelona was agreed upon some time ago and is set to be signed soon.
Lawyer Sevan Karian is said to be heading to Barcelona this weekend to seal the deal for his client.
Atletico boss Diego Simeone praised his outgoing striker ahead of Saturday’s game with Levante. Simeone said at a press conference: ‘First of all I am grateful for the footballer we have had.
‘I only have words of gratitude for Griezmann. As a person, I love him very much.

‘When you give everything as Antoine has given us, we are calm. We knew Griezmann’s departure was a possibility.’
It seems Griezmann’s destination to Nou Camp is a thing that cannot be merely changed even as it is reported that Barca dressing room is not content with the Frenchman’s coming to Barcelona.
Messi, in particular, has distanced himself from reports that he was in touch with the Frenchman.
It remains to be seen how things will transpire when Griezmann’s lawyer meet Barcelona President Josep Maria Bartomeu.
