Transfer: Griezmann decides on £95million move to Manchester United

 

Atletico Madrid’s Antoine Griezmann is ready to snub Manchester United and push for a move to Barcelona this summer, the Daily Star reports.

Griezmann has been one of the most prolific strikers in Europe over the last five years scoring 133 goals in 257 appearances for the La Liga side.

The 28-year-old has however informed Atletico that he wants to leave this summer and is heavily tipped to join Spanish rivals, Barcelona.

However, United are keen to hijack the move and have prepared a £95million offer for Griezmann, who netted 21 goals in La Liga last season.

But Griezmann is desperate to join Barca and is expected to sign a deal with the champions on July 1.

Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has joked that they could not afford Antoine Griezmann, ruling out a move for the France international.

Griezmann has informed Atletico Madrid that he wants to leave after five seasons, with Barcelona favourites to land the player.

City are set to bring in three or four new faces during the summer, but Guardiola ruled out a move for the 2018 World Cup winner.

“For the people of Barcelona, I say: ‘Don’t worry, guys.’ Manchester City is not going to buy Antoine Griezmann, we cannot afford him.

“For the people of Barcelona, don’t worry. We are not interested in Griezmann,” he told a news conference ahead of the FA Cup final against Watford.
