Atletico midfielder Saul Niguez believes the La Liga side can cope without Griezmann, should the Frenchman leave this summer.
When asked about the speculation surrounding his team-mate, Niquez said: "In the end, Antoine Griezmann can manage his future as he wishes.
"He is with us. We are waiting for him in pre-season and finally his future he will decide.
"If Antoine Griezmann leaves we have [Fernando] Torres, [Kevin] Gameiro, [Angel] Correa and [Yannick] Carrasco.
"He is a very important player for us, we know the quality he has, but most importantly no one player is above the club."
