Barcelona plan to file a lawsuit demanding Atletico Madrid pay them 40 million for Antoine Griezmann, sources have told ESPN. Griezmann, 31, rejoined Atletico on a two-year loan in 2024 and the two clubs are in dispute over a clause which would see the deal made permanent.

Both sides have crosstown rivals, and Barca's biggest game of the year is always against the other team in Madrid, but since Simeone took the reins at Atleti this duel has had a little extra spice to it.
