The managing director at Atletico Madrid says Griezmann would've just become "another soldier for Messi" if he had joined Barcelona

The managing director at Atletico Madrid, Miguel Angel Gil Marin, has spoken to 'Ser Deportivos' about various topics but mainly Antoine Griezmann's 'no' to Barcelona. Gil Marin said he was satisfied with the French striker's decision and excited about the new project being formed at the club under Diego Simeone. "The objective is to keep consolidating the Atletico Madrid project." He also spoke about the role Griezmann would play at Barcelona. "Griezmann is the star with us. At Barcelona he would just be another soldier at Messi's service."

However, Gil Marin admitted that Atletico Madrid still haven't discarded the possibility of taking legal action against Barcelona for the way they pursued Griezmann. "We're considering whether or not to report Barcelona for negotiating with Griezmann. He later revealed Atletico have proof that the Catalan club made contact with the French star's entourage.
