Griezmann staying at Atletico

-

Antoine Griezmann has ended another summer of speculatio­n about his future by announcing he is staying with Atletico Madrid.

The France striker had been heavily linked with a €100 million (£88m) move to Barcelona in recent months, having last year been a reported target for Manchester United. However, the 27-year-old has now decided to extend his four-year stay with Atletico.

Griezmann revealed he would be staying put during a Spanish television documentar­y called ‘The Decision’ aired last night.

Meanwhile, Uefa has ordered the partial closure of Atletico’s stadium for their next home European match as punishment for a Nazi-style banner displayed in the Europa League final.
