Diego Costa does not want to persuade Griezmann to stay at Atletico

Atletico Madrid bomber Diego Costa spoke of former team-mate Antoine Griezmann. He said he had never persuaded the bomber to survive in the Spanish capital.

As we know, Griezmann decided to stay at Barcelona after Atletico received a 120 million euro offer from the Catalan club. Many consider the bomber's decision to leave because he wants to play as a team with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.

This hypothesis is also justified by Diego Costa. In fact, he did not ask his colleague to survive because he understood the Frenchman's reason.

"His dream is to play with Messi and Luis Suarez, we all know what kind of player he is, and as a footballer, you always want to try something different and I think it's normal. Being there," Costa said, reported by the United States on Wednesday ( 11/9/2019).

"Griezmann wants to find new experiences and find something in Barcelona." "I have never tried to keep him here, but he asked me about his opportunities to try new things," continued the Brazilian.

Griezmann's performance with El Barca has been quite promising so far. France scored two goals in three appearances in LaLiga. While Atletico, who he left behind, also looked impressive, topping the standings with nine points.
