Antoine Griezmann agent confirms ‘concrete’ move from Manchester United for Atletico Madrid forward
French international has an exit clause of £85 million (HK$847m) having scored 25 goals this season
Manchester United have shown “concrete interest” in signing Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann, who has an exit clause of £85 million (HK$847m), the Frenchman’s agent Eric Olhats has said.
United, who are fifth in the Premier League, have scored the least number of goals among the top six sides and are aiming to strengthen their attack with Griezmann, who has scored 25 goals for Atletico this season.
“We’re at the stage of gathering information from clubs who have a concrete interest,” Olhats told French television programme Telefoot.
“There is an unavoidable 100 million clause so that restricts the number of candidates. You have United, [Manchester] City, Chelsea, Barcelona and Real Madrid.
“United were the first to come and see us and the most concrete in their wishes.”
