The versatile attacker chose to break his silence immediately after helping Argentina to a comfortable 2-0 World Cup victory over Austria.
He toldESPN: "I don't think it's the right moment to talk, but I also don't want to hide. I try to be an honest person. I spoke with the people at [Atletico] who I needed to speak with. I think the best thing for everyone is a transfer. I want to fulfil my dream."
