UEFA Champions League
Dimitri Payet, former player of Olympique de Marseille, has recently revealed that Antoine Griezmann, star of Atletico de Madrid, has always dreamed of playing for the southern French team. According to Payet, the French forward has expressed on several occasions his desire to wear the shirt of the Marseille club, which he has always admired.
In an interview given to France Bleu Provence, Payet explained that during the matches they shared with the French national team, Griezmann was the one who most enjoyed every visit to the Vélodrome Stadium, the home of Olympique de Marseille. The former midfielder highlighted that although many footballers do not end up playing for Marseille due to being in more prestigious clubs, for Griezmann, the Vélodrome has always been a special place.
Griezmann's greatest dream, the only club that would make him leave Atletico
Payet, who had a remarkable career at the Marseille team, mentioned that Griezmann always spoke enthusiastically about the possibility of playing someday at OM. These statements reinforce rumors that Griezmann might be open to leaving Atletico de Madrid to fulfill one of his greatest desires.
Despite being established at Atletico, Griezmann's future could be more linked to Ligue 1 than many expected. The emotional connection he has demonstrated towards Olympique de Marseille could be a decisive factor in his sporting future.
