🚨📰 The real reason Antoine Griezmann dislikes Arsenal is intriguing ahead of the Atletico Madrid clash.
Antoine Griezmann’s dislike for Arsenal dates back 13 years to a pivotal incident.
Griezmann has been one of La Liga’s standout players for over a decade.
The Frenchman entered Real Sociedad’s youth academy as a teenager and later made over 200 appearances for the club.
While impressing there, Arsenal showed interest in signing him, and Griezmann was also keen on the move.
However, Arsène Wenger ultimately decided against the move, which left him frustrated.
A year later in 2014, Arsenal made another attempt to sign him, but Griezmann—still unimpressed by their earlier approach—rejected the move and instead joined Atlético Madrid.
Griezmann wrote in his autobiography, as per Sky Sports:
🗣️🎙️“I waited, I waited, and I kept waiting… when there was no news, Eric (Olhats, his agent) called Gilles Grimandi (Arsenal scout at the time), who said that the manager was still interested in me [and] to keep waiting,
“Finally, a few hours before the market closed, he let us know Arsenal would not make a move. I don’t like to be told something and for it not to happen.
“So when Eric told me later that the London club were interested again, I told him: ‘Forget it, after the blow they gave us’.” Via [afcnewsroom]
Gooners, do you think Griezmann could have become an Arsenal legend?
