gone Barca for between 120 - 200 million depending on which report you believe.

Staggering amount of money but an absolute Rolls Royce of a player.

Really is, however, no idea what reports are suggesting it was £200 million? His buyout clause was £108 million.

The report I read said there was disagreement over some sort of clause which entitled Athletico to an 80 million add on.
They may have been just trying their luck.

Yeah I since saw this, and meant to comment back! I hadn't read that at the time. I think they're trying to argue that Barca and Griezmann had agreed the deal on the side before his buy out clause was reduced to £108million. I can't see them winning, but it's an interesting and fair observation to make.

I hope they win and Barcelona have to pay extra as both them and Real Madrid play right on the edge of the rules when it comes to signing players.

I'm pleasantly surprised Barcelona managed to sign him before he disappeared up his own arse.

Fantastic player and a great signing for Barca.
