Reports: Barca Set to Trigger Griezmann Release Clause

Barcelona are determined to land the Frenchman after missing out on him last season...

Antoine Griezmann has told Atletico Madrid he will leave the club this summer with La Liga rivals Barcelona set to pay his £108m release clause, according to reports.

In a farewell message on the club's website, the forward said: "It's been an incredible five years; Thank you very much for everything, I take you in the heart."

Griezmann, 28, has been linked with a move to Atletico's La Liga rivals Barcelona since last year, and speculation has only intensified since the Catalonian club were embarrassed by Liverpool in the Champions League semi-final.

Barcelona are ready to pay Griezmann's £108m release clause.

Griezmann joined from Real Sociedad in 2014. Last season he helped Atletico win the Europa League.
