Barcelona’s hopes of landing Antoine Griezmann have suffered a little blow with reports that France boss Didier Deschamps has advised his striker against the move.
According to RMC, Griezmann sought the advice of his national team boss over whether to leave Atletico Madrid or not this summer.
Apparently Deschamps told him to remain at Diego Simeone’s side where he will continue to be top dog, rather than head to the Camp Nou and live life in Lionel Messi’s shadow.
Whether it’s enough to convince Griezmann or not remains to be seen, apparently he still hasn’t decided on his future and is yet to make up his mind.
