    Griezmann third big player to leave Atletico next season

    Atletico have been dealt with severe blows as Griezmann will become the third star to leave the club in the upcoming summer. Prior to him, it was reported that Lucas Hernandez is on his way to Bayern Munich next season, while captain Diego Godin too would not be renewing his contract at the end of the term.

    Barcelona willing to pay €120 million for Griezmann

    As of now, the BBC has stated that Barca are willing to play a whopping €120 million for Griezmann. However, there are reports that English giants Liverpool and French champions Paris Saint-Germain too are looking to acquire the services of the French footballer.

    A gamble on Griezmann's part to leave Atletico?

However, a year later, deciding to leave for new challenges does baffle the author. While we feel that Griezmann is a rare talent and can make an impact for any club, the author still feels that this is a big gamble on his part.
