Spanish La Liga giants Barcelona will announce the signing of Antoine Griezmann from Atletico Madrid on Friday.

This is according to the publication from popular media outlet Goal which claimed that the much publicised £107m transfer will go ahead before the end of this week.

Antoine Griezmann revealed that he would be leaving Atletico Madrid at the end of last season and he was linked with clubs like French giants Paris Saint Germain (PSG) and Manchester United.

Both PSG and Manchester United will miss out on the French World Cup winner to Barcelona.

The Atletico Madrid forward was part of the France squad that won the 2018 FIFA World Cup tournament in Russia.

He scored in the final as France saw off Croatia 4-2 to win their second title after the 1998 edition.

Griezmann will be the second major signing of the summer at Barcelona after Frenkie De Jong.

Dutch international star De Jong was unveiled as a new Barcelona player earlier this week.

His transfer had been agreed with Dutch Eredivisie giants Ajax Amsterdam as early as the winter transfer window in January.

He spent the second half of last season at Ajax after the €75m agreement between Ajax Amsterdam and Barcelona.
