I think that Atleti was already notified by us that Antoine's release clause will be paid on July 1st. Antoine also notified Atleti that he won't continue back when that video was released. Barca also notified the Atletico board (via private calls) about it, hence the Atleti vice-president talking about it (possibly the last try to block the move). Meanwhile, Barto can't say anything, since Tebas and his gnomes are waiting in a starting position to fine us if someone opens his mouth or make us pay the current clause. It's also the reason why the "board" media are quiet about it.
It will happen. But on the first of July, not a day earlier. Barca will notify Tebas that we are paying the clause and that Griezmann will sign with us.

What about our players not wanting Griezman ??

They can't do anything about it. This was done as soon as Atleti posted that video of Griezmann announcing that he's leaving.
Plus, taking a bit of power from the players is a good thing at the moment, since they have too much of it anyways.

Well, Messi can compensate for that. Griezmann is top class and has performed in loads of big games, Real Madrid were just a better team than Atletico during Griezmann's time and its not his fault Simeone got his tactics wrong against Juve. Besides Griezmann is more of a support player, kind of like Villa was, I think it could be just as successful.

David Villa was never a supporting player at Valencia he scored 28 goals in 33 appearances in the 2008 season. Those aren't the stats of a support player. He was also very versatile as a winger and woukd never get in Messi's way. Furthermore Villa was rapid, much faster than Griezmann. He was a much better fit for us thsn Antoine will ever be

I don’t know how Griezmann will be able to face the players, the club echelon and the fans after what he did last year. Is he going to apologize profusely? If I were him I would never come near Barca again.

The players won't care. The dressing room seems happy to accept Neymar with open arms despite screwing us over, for example

Well, there were reports of the dressing room not wanting him (for the record, even though I don't want us to get Griezmann but I agree to hell with the wishes of the dressing room, they don't dictate what players we should sign). The difference between him and Neymar is, while the club and fans held grudges against Neymar because of the way he left, the players, especially his pal Messi and Suarez still like Neymar, after all he played here for several seasons and befriended some players. Can't say it is the case with Griezmann.
