Barcelona’s newest signing Antoine Griezmann has said that he is looking forward to working with Lionel Messi on a day-to-day basis. The France international was strongly linked with the Blaugrana since the beginning of March and the club have eventually landed his signature after triggering the £108m release clause on his Atletico Madrid contract.
Speaking at the unveiling, Griezmann told that he is excited to work with Messi after watching the Argentina international weave his magic for the Blaugrana over the years, he quipped: “I'm looking forward to seeing what [Lionel] Messi is like on a day-to-day basis in training. Playing next to him will be an incredible joy. I'm very happy, I'm very excited and I'm looking forward to working with the squad and meeting my new team-mates. It's a new challenge and new targets. These are important things and I hope I can do as well as I can. All of them - La Liga, Copa del Rey, Champions League. They're the club's goals and my goals.”
