Antoine Griezmann

Fench forward has left Barcelona on a two-year loan.

Whilst it was first mooted at the beginning of the summer, it has taken until the final day of the transfer window for a deal to be completed, but Barcelona man Antoine Griezmann has officially returned to Atletico Madrid on loan.

The French forward re-signed with Los Colchoneros on a two-year loan which holds an option to buy at the end of it.

Barcelona have been working behind the eight-ball this summer due to their perilous financial situation and this deal is in no small part a result of those restrictions.

Diego Simeone was also desperate to have the French forward back at the club, although the details of the deal remain unclear at this juncture.
