Messi tells Griezmann on Metropolitano pitch: Choose Barcelona, not Man Utd!
Posted Monday, October 16, 2017 by tribalfootball.com
Barcelona star Leo Messi made a beeline for Antoine Griezmann after their draw at Atletico Madrid on Saturday.
Both players lit up the Wanda Metropolitano in an exciting 1-1 draw.
Don Balon says at the final whistle, Messi was seen approaching Griezmann and exchanging words with the Frenchman.
It's suggested Messi was urging the Atletico star to join him at Barca next year. The Argentine's approach came after he actually made contact with Griezmann last summer about a move to Barca.
Griezmann is being linked with Barca and Manchester United this season with his contract's buyout clause to drop to €100m in 2018.
It isn't the first time Messi has sought to recruit players on the pitch, with Paulinho admitting he'd done as much during an international between Argentina and Brazil last season.
