Atletico Madrid 'expect Antoine Griezmann to join Barcelona'

Atletico Madrid fear that Antoine Griezmann will finally join Barcelona this summer, according to a report.

Atletico Madrid are reportedly fearful that Antoine Griezmann will finally join Barcelona this summer.

Griezmann was strongly linked with a switch to Barca in last summer's transfer window, with the Catalan giants believed to have spent the best part of 12 months working on a deal.

However, the 28-year-old announced before the 2018 World Cup that he would be penning a new long-term contract at the Wanda Metropolitano.

Speculation surrounding the France international's future has reemerged, though, and Barca are said to be considering reigniting their interest at the end of the season.

According to Cadena SER, Atletico now expect Griezmann to complete a switch to the Spanish champions this summer, and a meeting will be held later this week to discuss the attacker's future.

Griezmann, who has scored 21 times and contributed 10 assists at club level this season, will see his £173m release clause drop to £104m at the start of July.
