"FCBarcelonaexpresses its objections in the face of these events and reiterates its full respect for the institution of Atletico Madrid," added the statement.
Not wanting to add fuel to the fire, Griezmann played down the transfer talk at his press conference ahead of Sunday's trip to Betis in La Liga.
