Simeone shuts door on Griezmann-Barça: 'I don't care about the rumours'

Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann is being linked heavily with a move away from Atletico, with the French forward once again linked with Catalan giants FC Barcelona. Barcelona tried to sign Griezmann last summer but he ended up staying and signing a new contract with his current club.

Now, Atletico head coach Diego Simeone has closed the door on any potential Griezmann departure, when he spoke to Fox Sport: ​"Antoine is our captain, I don't care about the voices about his future at all. He has everything to keep growing here and also a contract for another two years. If I thought he could leave, I would certainly not speak about him."
