Barcelona striker Antoine Grisman has been awarded a penalty of 120 million euros for the Spanish club, the club said on Friday. The club, however, objected and demanded 200 million euros.
In a statement, Barcelona said in a statement that "it paid the penalty clause of Antoine Grisman, who disbanded Atletico Madrid. The penalty clause was 120 million euros. The player will sign a contract with the club for five seasons until 30 June 2024, Penalty of 800 million euros. "
"He is one of the best players in the world and came to Barcelona after a strong rally in the Spanish league, thanks to his presence with Real Sociedad and Atletico Madrid," he said.
Atletico Madrid are demanding 200 million euros on the contract with the club, the Marca newspaper said.
The contract stipulated a penalty clause of 200 million euros, which fell from 1 July to 120 million.
Atletico Madrid said Grizman had agreed with the Catalan club last March and publicly expressed his desire to leave the club in May, which means any club that wants to include him is required to pay 200 million euros.
Grizman's arrival in Barcelona was delayed by a full season at the request of the player, who last year had the opportunity to join the Catalan club, but decided to stay with Atletico after the latter improved the terms of his contract.
