Antoine Grizman, the star of Atletico Madrid, was shocked by his club's management after rejecting a tempting offer this week to renew his contract, which ends in 2022.
According to Spanish Cadena Kobe radio, Atletico Madrid paid an annual salary of 20 million euros, making the French international one of the world's top paid players, but the player had no answer.
"Officials at Atletico have expected that, especially as they know of the player's agreement with Barcelona but they insist on keeping Carzeman."
"Atletico does not want to blame her for Grizmann's departure, and she does not want anyone to say they did not do their best to keep the player."
Several reports have indicated that there is an agreement between Barcelona and Grzemann, in which the Catalan club will pay the penalty clause of € 100 million.
Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo is still saying that Grisman is a player and will continue.
