Antoine Griezmann has stated that he will clarify his future before the start of the World Cup.
The French forward has been linked with a move to Barcelona for a while now and it is widely believed that if not for the transfer ban slapped on Atletico last season, he would have moved.
The forwards spoke after his side’s 3-1 friendly win over Italy in which he scored
“Yes, it will be done before the competition,” Griezmann responded when asked would an announcement be made in the next few weeks.
The world cup starts on the 15th of June
The 27-year-old scored 29 goals in all competitions for Atletico Madrid and helped his side to a Europa League win and a second-place finish.
Meanwhile, Griezmann’s Atletico teammate, Diego Costa believes the forward will stay at the club. He said;
“He is taking a little time to say what is next for him and I think there is perhaps some doubt on his part,”
“He knows that we love him very much and that he is the figurehead here, a very important player. If he stays with us, that would be brilliant.
“If he leaves, we also must be happy because he’s given us a title this season but, in the end, I think he’ll stay.”
