Antoine Griezmann

First he's meant to announce it at the weekend, then today blah blah. Fact is nobody can force him to announce anything. His future is sorted as far as he's concerned. That's what he has said all along. I want my future sorted. It's just that we don't know

Griezmann has said he'll announce it before the WC. It's the press assuming today, yesterday, last week would be the day of announcement.

OK, he is staying then. I agree with [MENTION=11233]cro-man[/MENTION] that the only reason he could not say it today is because he has not signed the new contract yet.

Thanks for clarifying. Did he say when he will be able to reveal his decision?

No problem.

DonAK already answered and in my opinion, it's only fair that he wouldn't announce his personal choice of club in a press dedicated to the national team.

Seems obvious he will be signing for Barcelona but strange to delay the announcement up until France play which will still serve as a distraction since officially he won't be able to be signed until July 1 anyway - if he were to be staying at Atletico, there'd be no reason to let the media frenzy persist

can only hope Barto and Segura know his decision since he told there's one

Reading that last tweet, IF it is true I do find it odd that if he has made a decision (to stay) but he has not informed us. He should have informed us (of course we wouldn’t say anything), it is human decency.

They’re probably trying to come to some sort of agreement with Atletico so the signing can take place before the World Cup. If that fails they will just wait until the clause drops and be done with it.

Don’t expect an announcement now though.

I remember the same tweets last summer about Verratti and Coutinho too, then the summer before about Marquinhos.

The club is apparently always calm. Perhaps that's why they get shit thrown at their face a lot. Always assuming it will end in their favour.

As far as I'm concerned I want to hear it from Griezmann, but both the press related to Atleti in Madrid and generally reliable ones in France suggest he's made a decision to stay.

So that's 2-1 over the Barça press.

He didn't exactly say he'd announce it did he? he said he'd decide. i don't think he can actually announce it either way when hes away with the French national team.

I really think hes coming and hes waiting it out til July 1st to avoid getting Barca in trouble for tapping up

We are talking about a huge contract with many demands as it seems. To say blindly i will stay means i have to stay even those demands and the contract are not signed yet. Imagine atm fails on his demands and he says he is staying before that.

Two things are clear:
He made up his mind
He will announce it before wc starts

Everything else is pure speculation but too many sources are telling he is staying. We all know there is always someone who needs to talk and cant shut up his mouth. Even if i read his recent interviews it does indicate he is staying.
