Antoine Griezmann Names Man Utd Star as 1 of 2 Players He Would Love to Join Him at Atletico Madrid

Published on: 13 November 2016

Atletico Madrid superstar Antoine Griezmann has named international teammates Paul Pogba and Alexandre Lacazette, as the two players he would sign, if he was manager of the club.


The Frenchman expressed his desire to link up with the pair at club level, as part of a varied interview withGoal, with Lyon frontman Lacazette put forward as a more realistic target than Pogba, the world's most expensive footballer following his summerreturn to Manchester United.

When asked who his dream signing for Atleti would be, the 25-year-old said, "I'd sign Alexandre Lacazette or Pogba. I love how Alexandre plays and he's a really good guy."


"The same for Paul - he's a great player and a good mate. I hope to play with one of the two [at club level] one day."


Conversation quickly turned to Griezmann's now famous 'Hotline Bling' celebration, and when asked how it compares to the 'dab' craze, which Pogba has heavily bought into, the forward backed himself.

"You have to ask some other folk but I'm going to say mine [is better]. I often receive photos on my social networks and it makes me laugh. My celebration is even in FIFA! It is a dream for me and I hope that kids can see them as often as possible."


Griezmann conceded defeat to Pogba and fellow international teammate Patrice Evra, when it comes to dancing off the pitch, who bothhave posted multiple videos on Instagram showing off their moves.

"Paul dances a lot more than me and is a lot better. From time to time I like to sing and dance in my car, like everyone. Patrice Evra's not bad but he's more serious than Paul and I see him less often.


"Sometimes it's Paul who controls the music," the former Real Sociedad forwardcontinued, when asked who picks the tunes in Didier Deschamps' dressing room.


"Sometimes Steve Mandanda orme. We change from time to time."
