Diego Costa urges Antoine Griezmann to stay at Atletico Madrid

Atletico Madrid forward Diego Costa has said he would ‘love’ for team mate Antoine Griezmann to stay at the La Liga club beyond the next transfer window.

Griezmann has been linked with a move away from the Spanish capital for the past 18 months and was on the verge of joining Premier League side Manchester United last year.

He made a U-turn, however, when Atletico’s transfer ban was upheld and instead signed a new deal through to 2022.
