Diego Simeone Claims His Focus Is Getafe & Europa League Final as Griezmann Rumours Persist

Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone has dismissed speculation linking Antoine Griezmann with a move away from the club, insisting all his attentions are on the game with Getafe at the weekend, before the Europa League final with Marseille.

The French forward has seldom been out of the headlines this season, and many expect him to move on this summer after coming close to doing so a year ago.

By all accounts Griezmann was set to join Manchester United until the club's transfer ban was upheld. The 27-year-old stayed in Spain's capital out of loyalty, but could now finally move on with Barcelona a likely destination this time.
