Frenkie De Jong's presentation date as the new player of Barcelona of Spain has been announced, and in Europe, they already see Antoine Griezmann as the third player on the list to be officially confirmed (after Neto), and they have even set a deadline: July 11.
L'Equipe from France and Marca from Spain both announce that within ten days the signing of Antoine Griezmann will be announced. The French media pointed out that the deal will be closed and announced next week, while the Spanish media set the deadline for July 11.
Since Monday, Barcelona has been able to pay the release clause of Antoine Griezmann to Atlético de Madrid, which amounts to 120 million euros (135.5 million dollars), but only a few details remain to be agreed upon.
"Barcelona intends to negotiate with Atlético so that the operation is a transfer and not through the payment of the release clause, which has a higher cost in taxes," explained the Marca portal.
And if everything goes as planned in Barcelona, on July 14, the 'Principito' will start preseason training with the rest of the squad. Only details separate the Frenchman from the Catalan club.
