Antoine Griezmann was asked about Barcelona team-mate Lionel Messi as France prepare for their Nations League fixtures.
Barcelona star Antoine Griezmann is hoping captain Lionel Messi remains at Camp Nou after sensationally handing in a transfer request.
Messi has told Barca he wants to leave the embattled LaLiga giants, having spent his entire professional career at Camp Nou, amid strong links to Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.
However, Messi’s father Jorge said the six-time Ballon d’Or winner is considering the possibility of seeing out the final year of his Barca contract rather than forcing a move immediately.
Griezmann, who arrived from Atletico Madrid at the start of the 2019-20 season, and his relationship with Messi made headlines throughout the campaign as the former struggled for consistency and the France international was asked about the speculation ahead of Nations League fixtures against Sweden and Croatia.
