Antoine Griezmann has revealed his understanding of why Atlético Madrid supporters may have become 'irritated' by his refusal to commit his future to the club earlier than he did.
The 27-year-old French striker has finally signed a new deal with the club, and will spend the next five years at the Wanda Metropolitano after penning terms on a contract running until 2023.
He had long been linked with a €100m move to rivals Barcelona, with Griezmann initially failing to commit to a decision, one way or the other. Now, as reported by Marca, Griezmann has acknowledged that the furore may have upset Atlético's supporters.
