After having a an impressive season the Frenchman was wanted by European giants Arsenal and PSG but opted for a move to Atletico Madrid instead. He told France football “Why Spain and not elsewhere? This is my championship, my home, I’m happy here.”
“And Atletico is a great club. The leaders were willing to pay 30 million euros for me.”
“I had the boss on the phone. He motivated me and said the club really wanted me. I knew that I was coming here to learn.”
“Was it weird when PSG and Arsenal were also interested? They’re still the champions of Spain! I needed a club like that and a coach like Diego Simeone to progress. I always demand intensity in training. That’s my style and I like it.”
