On 28 July 2014, Griezmann transferred to Atlético Madrid from Real Sociedad for a fee of 30 million Euros.[5][6] He scored his first goal for the club in a game against Olympiacos F.C.. They lost 3-2.
Griezmann scored twice in the 2018 UEFA Europa League Final against Olympique de Marseille. Atletico won 3-0.[7] Barcelona offered him a contract in June 2018, but he declined the offer and stayed at Atletico for one more year. [8]
BarcelonaEdit
On 12 July 2019, Griezmann signed to FC Barcelona after they bought his 120 million euro buy-out clause. The transfer created a lot of controversy because experts claim Barcelona paid 80 million euros less than the actual release clause of 200 million.[9][10]
