Atletico Madrid agree a deal with Real Sociedad over the signing of Griezmann
Real Sociedad have announced on their website that the player has their permission to undergo the customary medical tests at Atlético Madrid prior to signing on the dotted line.
Real Sociedad said in a statement: "The player has the permission of Real Sociedad to undergo his medical in Madrid.
"Real Sociedad want to thank Antoine Griezmann for the professionalism and dedication he has shown during his time at our club, and at the same time wish him the best for the future."
Also, AtleticoMadrid announced on their official website: "Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad have reached an agreement for the transfer of Antoine Griezmann.
"The young French footballer will sign a contract with our teams once he passes his medical."
Once this final hurdle has been jumped, the player will join the rojiblanco ranks.
Neither club has confirmed the transfer fee but reports in Spain suggest Atletico Madrid have met the 30million euro (£24million) buy-out clause in Griezmann's contract.
Barclays Premier League trio Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham were among those sides believed to have been keen on Griezmann, along with French outfit Monaco.
Griezmann arrived there when he was just a 13-year-old lad and made his debut in the first team in 2009. Since then he has played 202 matches and has scored 53 goals.
