Manchester United Portuguese boss Jose Mourinho is set to strengthen his squad at the end of this season and has been linked with Atletico Madrid superstar Antoine Griezmann for some time.
However, if the Old Trafford club should achieve success singing Griezmann this summer, it could affect the duo of Chelsea and Arsenal – and here is how.
Should Griezmann make the move, Atletico Madrid will definitely work towards replacing him with another superb star – and it might be either Chelsea forward Diego Costa or Arsenal’s Alexis Sanchez.
Even though the Madrid club are not yet sure if they will be facing a transfer ban this summer, they are expected to be allowed – and their boss Diego Simeone will be definitely granted the cash to splash on big names.
Considering Sanchez’s condition at North London, he is likely to leave Arsenal at the end of the season, and he had been linked with the Spanish club.
Chelsea’s Diego Costa is also expected to leave the Stamford Bridge club at the end of this season. And even though he is heavily linked with moving to the Chinese Super League, there are indications that he could move back to Atletico Madrid – considering that he remains in touch with team-mates at his former club.
This season in the premier league, the Chilean and the Spaniard have been among the top performers in the English top flight and are joint-third in the scoring charts with 20 goals each.
