After being found guilty of tapping Antoine Griezmann while he was an Atletico Madrid player, barcelona have been fined only $300.
Griezmann, the France forward, combined Barcelona in July as soon as his # 108m launch clause was triggered by them.
Atletico contested the deal, claiming it was”obvious” Griezmann had consented to the transfer before July 1 – when his release clause was 180m.
“Atl??tico p Madrid thinks that the sum deposited is inadequate to fulfill [Griezmann’s] buy-out clause, because it’s clear that the player dedicated to FC Barcelona prior to the aforementioned clause was decreased from 200 to 120 million euros,” the club said in a statement.
“Atl??tico p Madrid thinks that the conclusion of this contract happened before the conclusion of last year due to events, acts and demonstrations carried out by the player and that’s the reason why the club has started the procedures it believes appropriate for its defense of its legitimate rights and interests.”
Griezmann has scored three goals in his first seven games.
Barcelona are fifth in La Liga after dropping two of their six matches.
