After nearly two years of intense courtship and rejections, Barcelona finally signed Antoine Griezmann when they activated his release clause for the sum of £108m (€120m).
The French international had starred at Atletico Madrid for five seasons, helping the side to a Europa and UEFA Super League trophy in 2018 while also achieving two Ballon d'Or top three finishes in the process.
The 28-year-old is not universally welcome at Nou Camp, with many fans of the opinion that his public rejection of the club last summer represents the ultimate humiliation but even his worst detractor would admit that the World Cup winner ranks high up there with the best in the business.
Griezmann would hope to settle in well at Barcelona and aid in their quest to reclaim the Champions League after their humiliating eliminations in recent years.
