Pique contributed to Griezmann ... turned away with Barca
Antoine Griezmann decided to continue with Atletico Madrid. Through the documentary The Decision, which was broadcast on Spanish television, the striker said: "I decided to stay at Atletico."

Griezmann is expected to extend the contract by 1 year, by 2023, with the Wanda Metropolitano team, and raise the contract fee from 100 to 200 million euros.

This means that Barcelona have missed the opportunity to recruit French striker. "We respect Griezmann's decision to extend with Atletico Madrid," said Barça vice-president Jordi Mestre.

However, the problem is that defender Gerard Pique is involved in the production of this program. In particular, Pique's Kosmos media company is Griezmann's film production unit and Pique shares the film on a personal profile.

"We feel bad and we regret that a Barca member contributes to the production process," Mestre said. "I do not think Pique is responsible for Barca's lack of Griezmann," said Barça's former captain, Carles Puyol.
