Speaking at the launch of his autobiography "Behind the Smile" the 26-year-old, who last season scored 16 league goals for Atletico, admitted he was frustrated at Atletico going close, but failing to win major titles.

"Players always want more," he admitted, adding "if I have to change teams, I will do so without any problem."

"We have got to a Champions League final and semi-final at Atletico Madrid, we got close, but were just lacking something... the moment has come when playing well and scoring goals is not enough. Now I want to win titles," said Griezmann.

However, the striker commented that if Atletico were to sign the players they needed to win major title he could be persuaded to stay.

"I am going to make my decision in function to what happens," he commented.

One problem Atletico have, however is that at the moment they are banned from making any new signings by world football governing body, FIFA due to irregularities in signing foreign players for their youth system.
