Antoine Griezmann apologised for any misunderstanding his comments about his future may have caused in recent months after extending his Atletico Madrid contract until 2022.
Griezmann signed a one-year contract extension with Atletico on Tuesday to bring a definitive end to one of the year’s longest-running transfer sagas.
The France international had looked on course to join Manchester United for a fee reportedly in the region of 100 million euros (£87million) - but the forward has ended speculation about his future.
The first thing that I want to do is apologise to the people who misunderstood my statements.
Maybe I expressed myself badly or someone wanted to make news where there wasn’t any, but since I came (to Atletico) I have given my all for my club, my team-mates and my coaching staff, and I’m very happy to live one more season with all of you.
I will thank them all (the fans) by giving my best on the pitch, as always.”
