Antoine Griezmann is delighted to have signed permanently for Atletico Madrid.

Griezmann officially signed for Atletico Madrid from Barcelona on Monday. He has penned a deal until 2026.

Barcelona take in €20m for the player who cost €120m two years ago.

"To stay at Atletico, enjoy being at the club, with the coach, my team-mates, the stadium, the fans, I did everything possible to stay here," he said.

"When I saw there was the chance to stay for many years, I spoke with the club. I knew what they wanted from me, I didn't think much. I didn't care what I had to do. The one thing I wanted was to stay here.

"I will give everything for my club, the trust of the coach, the fans, Atletico. I'll give everything for the badge. I could miss chances, or passes, but I will give everything until the last second, as much as I can. I want that to be seen and felt.

"The fans make the effort of having their season ticket, of coming, of supporting us from the stands. This is my homage to the fans."
