Atletico Madrid ace Griezmann on Saudi offers and changing Simeone style

Atletico Madrid ace Antoine Griezmann says the Saudi Pro League doesn't tempt him - for now.

The striker insists he's fully committed to Atletico.

He said, "Each player has to decide what they think, what they need. But beyond the sporting project, a player, at a specific point in time, if things have gone well and they receive these offers, it could be the best contract of your life.

"At 35 years of age, that's when a soccer career usually ends for a player. At the end of the day, if it happened to me, I would have to study it with my family and my three children. But at the moment, I'm here, I'm really enjoying playing here. I think it's quite normal what's happening, these contracts are worth a lot of money."

Griezmann was also asked about working with coach Diego Simeone.

He said: "We're trying to play out from the back and have more possession of the ball. The profile of the players we have will help us to do that. Our coach is getting used to the team we have, we've been changing things during our training sessions, changing the way we play. But I think the effort and the hard work for all players on the team will never change."
