Atletico Madrid superstar Antoine Griezmann reveals only club he would leave for… but it’s not what you think
ANTOINE GRIEZMANN is one of the most talked about players in Europe at the moment as his future at Atletico Madrid remains in serious doubt.
But instead of avoiding the question – like he has done in the past – the 26-year-old jokingly said he would only leave the Spanish side for the New York Nicks.

Speaking to Cadena Ser’s El Larguero, Griezmann said: “I would only leave Atleti to play with Derrick Rose.”
Griezmann, who has been heavily linked a move to Manchester United, refused to comment on a potential move to the Premier League.
The France international admits he has happy at Atleti but is desperate to win silverware.
The forward said: “I am very comfortable here and now have to meet my representative with (Atletico Madrid CEO) Miguel Angel Gil Marin and see what happens.
