Griezmann’s guest appearance is over! The Frenchman returns home

French player Antoine Griezmann has agreed a deal to leave Atlético Madrid. The French international returns to the team of the current La Liga champion after two years at Barcelona, where he was overshadowed for a long time by the performances of Lionel Messi.

However, the Argentine transferred before the season and Griezmann’s performances in the beginning of the new season were poor. In the first three games of the year, the 30-year-old striker played almost a full number of minutes, but his stats still show 0+0.

He has also received criticism from the Catalan club’s fans, who recently shouted at him for being a clown and that he should wake up.

Antoine Griezmann has only played in Spain so far in his adult career, having kicked for Real Sociedad and Atlético Madrid. So you could say that Griezmann is coming back home. Let’s see how the Frenchman’s return is welcomed by the fans at the Wanda Metropolitano.

The French striker scored 22 goals in 71 league games during his time at Barcelona. He also added 11 assists and finished second in the league. The guest appearance was confirmed on Twitter by Fabrizio Romano. The non-compulsory option after the one-year loan spell is set at €40 million.
