Spanish champions Barcelona have completed the signing of Antoine Griezmann from fellow La Liga club Atletico Madrid.

His transfer was confirmed earlier on Friday after the Catalan giants paid the €120m (£107m) release clause in his Atletico Madrid contract.

The French international player has signed a five-year deal with Barcelona until the end of the 2023/24 season.

This halts an almost two-year transfer saga involving Atletico Madrid and Barcelona.

Antoine Griezmann was linked with a move to Barcelona and Manchester United last summer but he went on to sign a new contract.

He spent five years as an Atletico Madrid player following his €24m move from fellow Spanish La Liga club Real Sociedad in 2014.

Griezmann scored 50 goals and also provided 25 assists for Atletico Madrid in his last two seasons with the club.

Upon his signing, Barcelona confirmed that their new signing has a release clause of €800m in his contract.

His official unveiling will take place on Sunday at the Nou Camp.

Antoine Griezmann will link up with the likes of Luis Suarez and star player Lionel Messi at Barcelona with the trio expected to form a deadly front trio ahead of the new season which kicks off next month.

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has been told to consider a move to Spanish champions Barcelona by Cameroonian football legend Samuel Eto’o.

In a chat with the BBC, Eto’o told Salah to join Spanish champions Barcelona because of the playing style at the Nou Camp.

Egyptian national team star Salah has been in superb form since joining the Reds from fellow Italian Serie A giants AS Roma.

Mohamed Salah announced himself to the British audience when he scored 44 goals in just 52 games for the Reds with 32 of those goals coming in the Premier League.

The 26-year-old helped Liverpool qualify for Champions League football and also reached the final of the competition before he was substituted as a result of a shoulder injury.

Real Madrid won that Champions League final via a 3-1 win for the Los Merengues who were able to benefit from the injury to Salah.

Liverpool have come back in a stronger way after they won the Champions League title via a 2-0 win over Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur with Salah getting one of the goals.

Barcelona midfielder Philippe Coutinho is expected to leave the Catalan giants this summer after a torrid time with the Spanish champions whom he joined from Premier League club Liverpool at the start of last year.

According to the specific report from the Daily Express, Philippe Coutinho won’t join Manchester United if he leaves Barcelona.

It was revealed that the Brazilian international prefers a move to Chelsea over Manchester United because of his allegiance to Liverpool.

Manchester United and Liverpool enjoy a fierce rivalry dating back to past decades.

The two clubs are undoubtedly the most successful teams in the history of English football.

Spanish champions Barcelona have concluded plans to sell midfielder Ivan Rakitic this summer if they receive the right offer for the Croatian World Cup star.

This is according to Spanish media portal Cadena SER which claimed that the Catalan giants would sanction the sale of Ivan Rakitic if they receive an appropriate offer for him.

Ivan Rakitic has been linked with several clubs on the European football stage including Chelsea though the Blues will have to sort out their transfer ban before any transfer is possible.

Chelsea were handed a two-window transfer ban by world’s football governing body FIFA for their misgivings in relation to the signing of underage players.

Ajax Amsterdam midfielder Frenkie De Jong believes that the decision to reunite with international teammate Matthijs De Ligt at Spanish champions Barcelona rests on the player.

De Jong is expected to join Spanish champions Barcelona this summer after the La Liga giants agreed on a move for him during the winter transfer window in a deal reported to be around €75m.

The 21-year-old is hopeful that Matthijs De Ligt will follow in his footsteps by moving from Ajax Amsterdam to Barcelona.

Frenkie De Jong spoke about De Ligt and a possible move to Barcelona after the Netherlands’ win over England in the second half of the UEFA Nations League.

The Netherlands came from behind to beat England 3-1 after extra time with goals from the aforementioned De Ligt, Kyle Walker (own goal) and substitute Quincy Promes.

De Ligt then went on to equalise in the second half thus taking the game into extra time.

After the game, De Jong told reporters that the decision lies with Matthijs De Ligt.

Several clubs have been linked with De Ligt with the likes of Barcelona, Manchester United and Liverpool competing for the 19-year-old currently rated at around £75m.

English Premier League outfit Man United are in the race for the signature of Ajax star defender Matthijs de Ligt alongside Spanish La Liga outfit Barcelona.

The Spanish outfit were earlier regarded as favorites for the signature of the young lad but they are receiving strong competition from the Red Devils who are desperate to land him in the summer transfer window.
