After an agreement concluded last October, Griezmann left FC Barcelona definitively this summer, for 20 million euros.
Since then, he has enjoyed growing success in Madrid. He took off and spearheaded the team in the second half of the season, finishing with 15 goals and 16 assists, putting him ahead of all La Liga players in terms of output. Griezmann has confirmed a wealthy club’s interest in signing him this summer but revealed he only wants to stay at Atlético.
Before the Euro 2024 qualifying match against Ireland at the Parc des Princes, the vice-captain of the France team spoke to the press: There were calls, contacts, I was focused on my club, I am 15 goals from the record of the top scorer in the history of the club “said the Atlético Madrid midfielder, adding: “It’s like I said to my sister: I’m not moving, I’m staying here”.
Griezmann has also claimed that this record is a motivating factor to stay at the club, ” I will try to break the record, it took me a while to reintegrate myself in the eyes of the fans – now is not the time to leave. »
Earlier in the summer, the Frenchman was linked with Al-Nassr, Cristiano Ronaldo’s club, who were looking to sign the 32-year-old to join the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.
