Striker has been linked with Man United

Antoine Griezmann has admitted that his future at Atletico Madrid would only be brought into question if manager Diego Simeone left the club.

The Frenchman has recently signed a new contract at the club, keeping him there until 2021. However, he’s been linked with a move to Manchester United next summer in the recent days.

However, he seems happy with his current circumstances in La Liga,

“The only doubt would be if Simeone leaves for PSG or wherever,” Griezmann told French TV programme Telefoot. “I called him before extending my contract and he confirmed to me that he was staying. I can learn a lot from him.

“PSG are not my goal at the moment. I’m happy in Spain. I’m always proud to be popular with the fans. I try to smile and do my best. If they like it, it’s even better.”

Simeone signed a new contract at Atletico last March until 2020, but his future has also been continually questioned.

Griezmann scored 32 goals for Atletico last season, and was top scorer at Euro 2016.
