"Deschamps told him he should stay at Atletico as there he is the star player whereas Barca he'd be in the shadow of Messi and Suarez.
"Griezmann is so comfortable at Atletico Madrid. He loves the club and you saw in the last league match of the season after he won the Europa League that the fans whistled at him. He almost cried on the pitch he was so upset.
"I think he genuinely loves Atletico and it wouldn't be a huge surprise if he was to say 'actually I'm going to stay'."
