Atletico Madrid forward, Antoine Griezmann has come out to say that he is keeping a close eye on Lionel Messi’s progress at Inter Miami. He recently revealed this amid reports that the French star remains interested in a move to MLS, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, Lionel Messi is definitely one of the best players in the history of football, and he has been seeing how the Argentine is filling up stadiums in the USA since he joined the league.
Griezmann added that there has surely been a growth with American football, and he still hopes to end his career there.
His words, “Yes, I’ve followed it,”
“Leo Messi is one of the best players in history. All the stadiums fill up when he plays and, since he’s been in the States, he’s winning matches. I think they’re now in a final match against Nashville. He’s an incredible player and I think the best thing that MLS has done is to sign up Leo for advertising and also for the sport’s quality. He can be the image of football in the United States.”
“There’s been a growth of the local American league. This is my objective: to be there to end my football career, to be able to enjoy the league and all the other sports leagues there because I really follow them. I’m a true fan. I obviously want to be able to play there if I can, and play well and win things. I think that’s going to be very good for the American league since Leo is there and Jordi [Alba].”
“I think the new signings, the younger players from South America, this will improve the level of the league so I think that’s the best thing they can do: sign up top-quality players so it will make the league bigger and stronger.”
