Present in front of the press, Antoine Griezmann made strong comments about his short-term future.
Smiling, relaxed, Antoine Griezmann appeared in front of the media to take part in the press conference, on the eve of the France team’s match against Ireland, scheduled for Thursday, as part of the qualifying campaign for Euro 2024 (kick-off at 8:45 p.m.).
Returning in a state of grace to Atlético de Madrid last season, the vice-captain of the Blues did not hide his satisfaction. The return of Griezmann to the fore has allowed him to regain an excellent rating on the transfer market. Some sources thus claimed that the left-hander was in the sights of Paris Saint-Germain this summer.
Griezmann, an appointment with Paris in a year?
“There were calls and touches but I was focused on my club, conceded the 2018 world champion. I’m 15 goals from the club’s all-time goalscoring record. I said to my sister: ‘I’m not moving, I’m staying here and I’m going to try to break the record’. I am good at Atletico, I take advantage of my level, my teammates, the coach and the supporters. It took a while for me to be reinstated, now is not the time to leave”
While waiting for a hypothetical chapter at PSG in the future, Grizou added that he was thinking of Paris for the deadline of the Olympic Games, in a year. A childhood dream that could come true if he is one of the 3 players selected by Thierry Henry to compete in the Olympic tournament. ” There is no competition, I’ve said it openly before, in the dressing room in Madrid and sometimes here, it’s a dream for me and a goal. There will only be 3 players and it’s a dream, nothing more. It is not a taboo subject, we know that there are bad people who want to do them. There will be 3 lucky ones and the rest in front of their TV. We will be behind all the French, regardless of the sport “, he insisted.
