Super Eagles<\/a> attacker Ademola Lookman<\/a> has subtly urged his Atletico Madrid teammate Antoine Griezmann to stay at the club, despite the Frenchman’s agreement with Major League Soccer (MLS) side Orlando City, Soccernet.ng reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u200bLookman has hit the ground running in Madrid following his \u20ac35 million transfer from Atalanta. Since his arrival, he has developed a strong rapport with his new teammates, most notably the French forward Griezmann.<\/p>\n \u200bHowever, the former Barcelona man is now set to leave the Metropolitano at the end of this season, concluding a culminated ten-year stint at the club. Following weeks of speculation, Griezmann reportedly agreed to a deal with MLS outfit Orlando City a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n \u200bConsequently, he is expected to complete the move once the current campaign reaches its conclusion.<\/p>\n \u200bAhead of this potential departure, Lookman was asked about his impressions of Griezmann since they began playing together; the Super Eagles star admitted that he has thoroughly enjoyed their time on the pitch.<\/p>\n \u200bCrucially, the 28-year-old attacker noted that Griezmann still possesses the quality to offer the team a great deal more.<\/p>\n \u200bIn a recent interview with ESPN, Lookman stated that he has relished playing alongside Griezmann and has learned significantly from the veteran.<\/p>\n \u200b\u201dHe’s (Griezzman) a football legend for what he’s brought to the game\u2014for who he is and what he represents,\u201d Lookman told ESPN<\/a> when asked about his experience training with Griezmann.<\/p>\n \u200b\u201dBut obviously, training with him every single day, you think: \u2018Wow.’ There are moments where I think: \u2018Yeah, maybe you could stay a bit longer, you know?’<\/p>\n \u200b\u201dTo be able to see that up close every single day is something that I obviously appreciate, and I learn from him as well. It’s an absolute pleasure.\u201d<\/p>\n \u200bFor now, Griezmann remains focused on ending the campaign on a high note with Atletico Madrid. Although they are already out of the race for the La Liga title, they have successfully reached the semifinals of the UEFA Champions League.<\/p>\n \u200bThey also face a massive Copa del Rey final against Real Sociedad this Saturday, where they will be looking to secure the trophy.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n![\"Soccer](\"https:\/\/soccernet.ng\/thumbor\/jOvKR3hCBUZ6bBXlc2rQWhe_FnA=\/2780x1853\/smart\/https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.soccernet.ng%2Fmain%2F2026%2F04%2Fimago1076190674.jpg\")
