Diego Costa: Dream of Griezmann plays with Messi and Suarez

Atletico Madrid bombers, Diego Costa, have left Antoine Griezmann's move. Costa revealed that Griezmann had long wanted to join Barcelona.

The French international striker dropped anchor at Camp Nou after being traded by Barca for 170 million euros in exchange this summer. Griezmann's transfer was finally completed a year after the rejection of the Blaugrana's proposal.

Griezmann showed a promising performance with Barcelona. In the absence of Lionel Messi, the 28-year-old soccer player scored two goals plus one assist in the first three Spanish league matches.

Costa only worked with Griezmann for one season at Atletico. According to him, it is natural that Griezmann wants to take on a new challenge after five seasons in the Rojiblanco costume.

"His dream is to play with Messi and Luis Suarez, and we know what kind of player he is," Diego Costa told YouTube channel Que Partidazo, quoted by the United States.

"A footballer always wants to try new things and for me, it's only natural that he wants to try his luck there, just see if he will be an important player at Barca, like when he was at Atletico."

"I am not trying to persuade him to survive, but if he asks for my opinion, I will tell him that he must try new things," said the former Chelsea employee.

"When I moved to Chelsea, I felt this was the right time to come in. Griezmann's decision made sense, he was always honest, he was never absent during training, always being an example ... we can't say anything bad about it, we are grateful love him. "
