MADRID (Reuters) - Atletico Madrid will be sent to the International Football Confederation (FIFA) for Barcelona's contract with French striker Antoine Grazmann to pay the penalty clause to cancel his 120 million euro contract, which the club has deemed inadequate. Atletico hopes that the international federation will impose "a penalty on Barcelona and on the player." Atletico, whose relationship with the player finally deteriorated, to the latter's abstention on Sunday to join the resumption of the training for the new season, said: "It is clear that the agreement between the player and FC Barcelona was concluded before the penalty clause was reduced from 200 to 120 million Euro », the first of July.
"Therefore, the amount deposited on Friday by the Spanish Football Association by the lawyer of the French player is insufficient," he added, adding that he believed that "the contract was canceled before the end of the season due to the facts, actions and demonstrations by the player."
Grazman was linked to a contract with Atletico until 2023.
