Will Antoine Griezmann be Atletico Madrid or Barcelona striker at World Cup?

Griezmann has scored 26 goals in 43 matches for club and country this season, prompting apparent interest from Barcelona in landing the forward, who is the fourth top scorer in Liga with 17 goals behind Lionel Messi (25 goals), Cristiano Ronaldo (22) and Luis Suarez (21).

"I want to travel to Russia without this concern," he told L'Equipe. "It's not about knowing where I'll play, but about having the peace of mind if I'm still in one place or another.

Griezmann was linked with a move to Manchester United, but it appears his future lies in Spain where he wants to compete to end the decade-long Ronaldo/Messi stronghold on the Ballon d'Or.

"When I'm happy, everything's fine. I want to win a World Cup or the Champions League, then the Ballon d'Or will come, if it has to come," he said.

"I am part of a group and I prefer to win a collective title than an individual one. For example, the trophy to the best scorer of the European Championships – I would have preferred to win the competition."
