FC Barcelona have paid Atletico Madrid 15 million euros to seal the peace in the 'Antoine Griezmann case.' According to a report in El Mundo, the Catalans have signed an agreement which also gives them first refusal on a number of Atletico players, including Saul and Gimenez. 

With the agreement, the dispute over the Griezmann fee comes to an end. According to El Mundo, Barça have signed the agreement so that emails don't surface revealing that they negotiated with Griezmann illegally. Atletico feel that Barça should have paid 200 million for the France forward, which was his original release clause. It dropped to 120 million in July, which is when Barca executed the deal. 

 

Last month, the RFEF ordered Barcelona to pay 300 euros as a fine over "irregularities" in the transfer.
