Antoine Griezmann Not Leaving, Says Atletico Madrid President Enrique Cerezo

 

Atletico president Enrique Cerezo has played down suggestions Antoine Griezmann will leave the club in the near future.

Griezmann has been a key player for Atleti since joining them from Real Sociedad in 2014 and has consistently been linked with a move away from the Spanish capital club.
It was suggested during the summer that he will seek pastures new at the end of the season, but Atleti president Cerezo says the Frenchman wants to win trophies with his club.

Speaking to Marca, he said: “We have made a great effort to keep him [Griezmann] and all of the players. In these moments, the problem that Griezmann has had is that a series of new stories, that always arise, that say that the most important teams in Europe want him did not benefit him.

“Griezmann is and will be an Atletico player. He is an important player, he is at an important club and wants to win things with Atletico.”
