Aware that there has been contact with people close to Antoine Griezmann by Barcelona, Atletico Madrid has presented a formal complaint to FIFA for the continued pursuit of its player.
The Frenchman renewed with the Atletico in June until 2022, and one of the factors the Madrid team will put in its complaint is the integrity of the domestic competition being at stake, Marca reported.
Though Barcelona is top of the La Liga table and Atletico sits second with just six points behind, the Madrid club has come to the conclusion that the contact with its star player seems to be a clear ploy to destabilize the team efforts to get closer to the Catalans in the table.
