And Decathlon have won the race to sign the 33-year-old as they strive to increase their presence in the global game. Decathlon became the suppliers for UEFA's Europa League and Conference balls this season - through their Kipsta brand - and the signing and Griezmann is their latest statement of intent.

The Atletico Madrid star will not only become the face of the company's football line but play a creative role in the brand’s design process, collaborating on new products. Now the deal is official, his blacked-out boots - which were Decathlon boots in disguise - will be replaced by a hi-vis yellow edition of the Kipsta CLR.
