The main offensive reference of the Athletic of Madrid, Antoine Griezmann, has conceded an interview to the magazine "Four Four Two" in which it has explained why has taken the decision this summer to remain in the club rojiblanco, signalling that it has been especially by the sanction of the FIFA that prevents to reinforce to the colchoneros this market estival.
"I go to play the next season in the Athletic and afterwards already will see"
Therefore, the same Griezmann has recognised that it is very possible that in summer of 2018 finish doing the cases. "I remain me, mainly, by the sanction that prevents fichar to the club. The Athletic needs me now more than ever and felt that it had to remain me. It would have been dirty to go out. It would not be I same, or the person that seat that I am today, if it had left this club of this way", has remarked.
Griezmann Has clear that the Athletic has given it to him everything. "I spoke with the Cholo on the situation, our options and what could do. Afterwards we close it everything with Miguel Ángel Gil Marín. Have a lot of respect by this club and by his people as to go out now, because, like the Real Sociedad, they have given it to me all", says on a signing by another club.
Griezmann Insinuates a possible course in 2018
Although it recognises that in 2018 the most likely is that it finish doing the cases. "To be honest, do not know it. I go to play the next season with the Athletic and afterwards already will see. Everything in what I am thinking now is in the Athletic. I think that it is absurd to speak on something that will happen inside more than a year", has defended .
In this coyuntura, and in the case that Griezmann finish leaving in 2018, some culés ask if the FC Barcelona could be a possible destination. The true is that the French already has left clear in more than an occasion that would love him remain in Spain and follow playing in LaLiga, so much by climate as by culture futbolística. If it remains in LaLiga, the Barça would be the most feasible option... Although no descarta the Premier League.
