Deschamps Confident Griezmann’s Focus Is Not Disturbed by His Transfer Rumors to Barcelona

DBasia.news –  Although he has signed a new contract until 2023, Antoine Griezmann’s future fate at Atletico Madrid is still ‘white gray’. Because Griezmann was again rumored to leave to Barcelona.

The latest news even mentions that El Barca also made Griezmann the main target in the 2019 summer transfer market. The club has even prepared a salary of 16 million euros per year while preparing a contract until 2024.

Rumors of Griezmann’s move finally reached the ears of Didier Deschamps as the French national team manager. But the 50-year-old man guarantees that this will not interfere with the player’s performance at all.

“I talked about everything with Antoine Griezmann. He was relaxed and had behaved much more mature than before. There was no problem with him and he was not at all affected by rumors circulating (leaving Barcelona),” Deschamps said as quoted by Goal.

Although not at all affected by rumors of his move, it also does not mean that Barca’s opportunity to get his signature is also impossible, the former Real Sociedad player reportedly felt disappointed after Juventus eliminated los Rojiblancos in the last 16 of the Champions League.

Deciding to join Atleti in 2014, the player born in Macon, France has played in 248 matches with a collection of 130 goals in all competitions.
