Antoine Griezmann insists he is very happy at Atletico Madrid, and revealed Diego Simeone is a major factor in his contentment.
The France international has established himself as one of Europe's finest forwards over the past two years since leaving Real Sociedad for Atletico Madrid in the summer of 2014, and scored the only goal of the game as Atleti moved up to third in La Liga with a 1-0 win over Deportivo on Sunday night.
Reports suggest that Chelsea, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain have all been rumoured to be holding an interest, although the player himself is content at his current club.
Atleti will move into a new stadium at the end of the season and Griezmann admits he wants to play there next term, under a manager he feels a great deal of affection for.
"I am very good at Atleti, with my team-mates, I see that we can achieve important things," Griezmann told Spanish radio station Onda Cero. "With Simeone I am learning so much. Right now, I do not think about anything other than Atleti. The aim is to continue with Atleti and to see the new stadium."
Griezmann also revealed that he feared the prospect of coach Simeone leaving the club earlier this summer.
"I was afraid of Simeone leaving this summer - I need to continue learning from him," Griezmann added. "I called him and he reassured me. I need to work with Simeone, I need to learn from him and Atleti needs it too."
