The French Football Federation (LFP) has announced the departure of French international goalkeeper Antoine Griezmann from the club, with the player expressing his disappointment at the decision.
Griezmann had been linked with a move to Barcelona, but it was revealed that he would be leaving for Real Madrid in January. The move comes after several years of playing for the Ligue 1 champions, and Griezmann is now set to join the Spanish giants.
In a statement, Griezmann said: "I am extremely sad about this news. It's a very difficult time for me as I have been part of the team since 2015 and we have all worked hard together. I want to thank everyone who has supported me over these years and wish them well in their future endeavors."
The move is likely to come as a blow to the French national team, which has struggled to find consistent form in recent years. However, Griezmann will still be a valuable asset to the team, particularly as he is known for his strong shot-stopping abilities and his ability to adapt to different positions on the pitch.
Despite the setback, Griezmann remains optimistic about his future with the LFP, saying: "It's not easy to leave such a great club like Paris Saint-Germain, but I'm ready to take on new challenges."
