Barcelona announced him. What’s that about?Griezmann not a done deal yet. Atletico claiming they are short 80M
'Atlético Madrid believes that the amount deposited (€120m) is insufficient to meet his rescission clause, since it's obvious that the commitment of the player and Barcelona was closed before the aforementioned clause was reduced from €200m to €120m.'
So they're happy with 80m but want a bigger sum up front. So it'll end up being 65 + 15 or 70 + 10
If reliable - I'd say we're pretty close to completion on this one now.
Jeez, this transfer is a mess. Barca are a shady club and this transfer confirms it even more.Griezmann not a done deal yet. Atletico claiming they are short 80M

'Atlético Madrid believes the termination of the contract occurred before the end of last season due to events, acts and demonstrations carried out by the player and that is why we've already started procedures considered appropriate to defend our rights and legitimate interests'
What ? ...Window closes early in august before the first PL match
4 weeks for Woody to something special.Transfer window closes in 4 weeks.
I thought our first offer of £70m was rejected?
Now we have reduced the offer £60m? I get there is bonuses included, but there is no way Leicester accept £10m less than the first offer, no matter what the bonuses are.

All PL teams agreed it for this summer, that’s why it started early tooWhat ? ...
I dont think Inter can afford 60 mill upfront.
In a very dodgy wayBig club doing big club things.

I don’t recall thatIt also happened last season?
Would be really happy to get three. Just hoping we get some players in.Something special x 3 minimum. Not happening. I reckon 1 maximum.
Not sure about that one mate?I thought the clubs had realised this was a stupid decision to bring the close of the window forward and had decided to undo this stupidity, no?
I thought the bigger clubs got outvoted on it by the rest of the league.All PL teams agreed it for this summer, that’s why it started early too
Think we might struggle if we get no replacement for Lukaku.70+10 we get Maguire, then Longstaff for 30+5 then we wait to get Fernandes last 40+10. Sign those three and sell Lukaku with no replacement. Rahsford will be main striker with Martial as backup, if Rashford is injured James goes left wing and Greenwood goes first sub.
I'm doing what the the Journalists do and making an educated guess based on what's been released so far.

That's probably how it went and still stands.
Pl clubs in England voted to end the summer window on the Thursday before the start of the season - on August 9 in 2018, instead of August 31. Because FIFA demands the window must be open for 12 weeks, the window will open around May 17, shortly after the final games of the season on May 13. Clubs will be able to sell players until August 31 but not buy replacements after the deadline of August 9.
Although, in England, transfers between clubs in the same league can take place as soon as the last competitive fixtures for the season have been played, many transfers will not be completed until 1 July because many players' contracts expire on 30 June. International transfers into the English leagues (including the Premier League) cannot be made until the window has opened on 17 May.
Thanks for sharing that mate . I agree it gives the European clubs an unfair advantage.Ah, this was being talked about during the last window fiasco but seems to have gained no traction. Pity. Should be the same all over Europe really.
Can't wait for when Barcelona roll up at Atletico, the welcome will be deafening.This would be brilliant.
An extra £80m?!
Hardly like it's an insignificant sum. How can they be so far apart in what each other thinks they're owed?
