Real Madrid and Man Utd warned as Atletico Madrid prepare for Griezmann exit

Real Madrid and Manchester United are long time admirers of Atletico Madrid and France star Antoine Griezmann. The talented striker has a € 100 million release clause included in his contract and both the Red Devils and the Merengues are being linked with signing him in the summer.

Barcelona are also reported to be monitoring the Frenchman who refused to leave Atletico last summer given that the colchoneros would not have had any chance to replace him due to a transfer ban.

The next summer, however, could be the right moment for Griezmann to leave the Wanda Metropolitano and join an even bigger club.

According to Don Balon the colchoneros are preparing for Griezmann exit as they have already prepared a shortlist of potential replacements for the Frenchman.

The likes of Edinson Cavani, Lorenzo Insigne and Mauro Icardi are all being linked with a move to Atletico Madrid if Simeone will be forced to sell his best player.

Griezmann’s release clause, in fact, means Atletico Madrid can do nothing but accept any € 100 million bid that will be submitted in the summer.
