PL Heavyweights Set To Destroy Man United Transfer Plans

According to new reports circulating in Spain, Pep Guardiola is interested in bringing Antoine Griezmann to the Etihad Stadium, and he has made contact with the Atletico Madrid star player over a possible move.

The France international was keen on leaving the La Liga club during the past summer transfer window, but he chose to stay with Simeone’s side in an act of loyalty after their transfer ban was upheld.

The 27-year-old has been very much linked with Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United for some time, and it was made known that the Old Trafford club were willing to pay his £87.5 Million release clause.

La Liga side Barcelona are also interested in him, and there were speculations earlier this week that the Catalan giants are a step ahead of the red devils in the race for his signature.

And Sport recently made it known that Manchester City have also contacted Antoine with a view to bringing him over to their side.

A.Madrid signed Diego Costa from Chelsea and the Brazilian-born striker is seen as a replacement for the Frenchman.

Although there are lots of superb attackers at Man City, it appears manager Pep Guardiola is still interested in adding more quality to the department.

The former Barcelona manager tried signing Alexis Sanchez during the summer window from Arsenal, but he missed out on him.
