Atletico Madrid agree Griezmann deal

Antoine Griezmann is close to a move to Atletico Madrid from Real Soceidad, after both clubs reached an agreement over a €25m deal.
The two La Liga sides were locked in negotiations for over a month and have now agreed terms for the transfer.
“Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad have reached an agreement for the transfer of Antoine Griezmann,” a statement on the official Atletico website reads.
“The young French player will undergo a medical before signing a contract with our club.”
Griezmann was part of the French team that were eliminated from the quarter-finals of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil and made over 200 appearances for Soceidad.
The 23-year-old forward will become Atletico’s fourth summer-signing after Miguel Moya, Jan Oblak and Mario Mandzukic arrived earlier in the summer.
