Filipe Luis can understand Antoine Griezmann's move to Barcelona

Flamengo defender Filipe Luis gave his opinion on the transfer of Antoine Griezmann to Barcelona. According to him, the player's movement can occur because he no longer has the motivation to play Atletico.

Griezmann joined Atletico in 2014 from Real Sociedad. The Frenchman later became a key player in Diego Simeone's team.

This 28-year player has scored 133 goals in 257 appearances in all competitions. In addition, he successfully presented the European League, the UEFA Super Cup and Supercopa de España.

However, Griezmann decided to leave Wanda Metropolitano this summer. He has joined Barcelona at a cost of up to 120 million euros.


Can understand

Filipe Luis understands Griezmann's decision to move to Barcelona. Because players really want new challenges in their careers.

"I understand his departure, he has been at Atletico for years and he wants to try something new," Filipe Luis told Marca.

"He gave us a lot of time at Atletico, living in the same place for a long time can make you calm and he is no longer motivated.

"So, we all understand him and we must remember him with love, he is the best of all."


About Neymar

Filipe Luis also spoke of compatriot Neymar and his desire to return to Barcelona.

"I don't know if he really wants to come back, I want to think, because if not, his name won't be mentioned every day for two months," he said.

"It's not easy to leave PSG and they don't usually sell players, I think he was very calm after saying that he will stay in Paris, it is very difficult to have an uncertain future. It is important for them to win something and for Neymar to be himself again
