　　The news regarding Griezmann’s transfer is finally coming to an end. Atlético Madrid announced on its official website that the club has extended Griezmann’s contract by one year, until 2022. 　　This summer, Griezmann was very close to joining Manchester United. However, due to FIFA’s transfer ban imposed on Atlético Madrid, the club was unable to make any signings this summer; as a result, Griezmann decided to stay with the team and help his teammates and coach get through this difficult time. 　　In an official statement, Griezmann said, “First of all, I would like to apologize to those who misunderstood my words. Perhaps my way of expressing myself was unclear, or maybe some media outlets prefer to create big headlines. Since I joined Atlético, I have been giving my all for the team, and I’m happy to have extended my contract with them.” ”　　“I will give it my all on the field, just as before, to show my gratitude to everyone. ”　　However, according to British media, despite the renewal of his contract, Griezmann’s release clause in the new agreement remains at 100 million euros, which sets the stage for him to transfer in the future.
