Griezmann: What I think about good friend Pogba's Man Utd move...

Atletico Madrid ace Antoine Griezmann says he's happy for France teammate Paul Pogba over his move to Manchester United.

Griezmann admits he's in regular contact with Pogba and says he's happy with his switch from Juventus.

He told Gazzetta dello Sport: "I have often spoken with Paul, we are very good friends. I think it is a mistake for Juventus to have lost such a great player, but I'm happy for him.

"United let him go for free and now have spent €105m? Football is like that. This is also one reason why people love our sport. Things can change quickly.

"The biggest transfer? This is modern football. There's been about fifteen years, Real Madrid paid €70m for Zidane when he was the best in the world, now the market seems crazy. These are stories between clubs. The players, we can not talk much.

"Juventus did well? I do not know. What is certain is that it's a lot of money. I think the one hand, they have done well and the other not."
