Lionel Messi has appreciated Antoine Griezmann as “one of the best” amid reports linking the Atletico Madrid forward with Barcelona. Griezmann is widely linked with a switch to the Liga champions in the close-season after another prolific campaign for Atletico.
Messi has called the France international as one of the world’s best and he would seemingly be happy to have the 27-year-old at Camp Nou. “It’s obvious that I like him. He’s one of the best right now,” the Argentina footballer said recently . “I don’t know if there’s anything with him or not, but we’re delighted that the best come and Griezmann is one of them,” he added.
Messi was speaking after Barcelona’s 1-0 victory over Real Sociedad in the great Andres Iniesta’s last game for the club.
