Transfer news: Man City challenge Barcelona for Griezmann?


​Recently crowned English Premier League champions Manchester City have been added to the list of clubs currently linked with a move for Antoine Griezmann, according to a report of Manchester Evening News.

The Atletico Madrid forward has recently announced that he is leaving the club, with Barcelona the most heavily linked club to the 28-year old as the Blaugrana are ready to pay the player's € 125 million release clause. In addition, PSG and Bayern Munich have also been mentioned as having an interest in the Frenchman.

A report in the Manchester Evening News today, claimed that City are willing to pay the 125 M Euro clause to take the World Cup winner to England, which is valid from the 1st of July. City however, are waiting on the outcome of the UEFA probe into their financial management, which could potentially see the club being excluded from next season's European competition.
