Atlético chief deals Man Utd and Barcelona transfer blow over Griezmann
- Jordan Russell (@JordRuss96)
“At the moment, all I can say is that he is an Atlético Madrid player. I can only talk about facts and reality, not the future. He has a contract with us. Nobody has asked for him. Griezmann is an Atlético player. I do not know anything about Barcelona.”
The Frenchman’s release clause is set to drop from €200 million to €100 million on July 1st, prompting speculation that either Barça or Manchester United could be tempted to secure his signature for what is effectively a ‘bargain’ price. Only time will tell whether he finally bids farewell to Los Colchoneros, having been linked with a move away on an almost daily basis throughout the past couple of years.
