I guess we can all agree that Antoine Griezmann's move to Barcelona has seen an unwelcome escalation of sorts after Atletico Madrid issued a statement condemning their action of agreeing a deal with the Frenchman while he was still contracted with them.

Griezmann, who has now joined Barcelona after the club paid his release clause, is now set to ride a testing tide as Atletico Madrid urge LaLiga to block the move following the dispute over the release clause.

Atletico are claiming that Barcelona owe them €200 million as they had reached an agreement with Griezmann before July 1st- the date on which the figure fell to €120 million as per a clause in his contract.

Javier Tebas has now revealed on radio station Onda Cer that Atletico Madrid have made a move to block the transfer. He said,

"Atletico wrote to us and placed in doubt whether or not we should grant Griezmann's licence at Barcelona,"
"There is a mechanism that has been put in place and it will be the organisations that must resolve the situation. We don't have the element of judgement."
