Antoine Griezmann responds to Barcelona links

Fresh from scoring against Real Madrid in the derby, Atletico Madrid superstar Antoine Griezmann has responded to reports tipping him for a move to LaLiga giants FC Barcelona.

The France international has been linked with an exit from the Rojiblancos come the end of the season, and while Manchester United were known to be interested in the striker, the latest reports suggest the Camp Nou will be his next destination.

After Atletico’s 1-1 draw with Los Blancos at the Santiago Bernabeu on the weekend, Griezmann refuted claims that he had agreed to any deal with the Blaugrana.

“I don’t know where that information comes from,” the French star said on TF1’s Telefootfootball show.

“But I don’t know anything about it, so, for now, there is nothing. These reports are false.”

The 27-year-old has previously stated that he would like his future to be sorted out before he leaves to play at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia with France.

Griezmann has made 40 appearances for Atletico so far this season, scoring 25 goals and assisting a further 13 strikes.
