Griezmann's Future Remains Undecided

Wednesday, May 25

According to his adviser, Eric Olhats, Griezmann is yet to make a decision on where he'll play next year.

Per L'Equipe (h/t Get French Football News), Olhats dismissed rumours he had signed a contract extension at the Vicente Calderon: "Contrary to certain claims announcing that Antoine at Atletico next season will be the case without fail, nothing has been decided or endorsed. We are currently listening to different clubs who also offer real interest and attraction."

Per the Daily Star's Jamie Anderson, Chelsea, Manchester United and Real Madrid are among the clubs thought to be interested in the forward.

Anderson further reported that Atletico are "trying to increase his release clause from £63 million to £79 million" in order to fend off their advances, but after netting 32 goals for Los Rojiblancos this season, Griezmann could virtually have his pick of club if he decides to move on.

There's no guarantee he will, however.

Earlier in May, Griezmann told Canal Football Club (h/t Mark Rodden of ESPN FC): "I feel good at Atletico. I'm in the process of seeing about renewing my contract and we're on the right track. So I hope we can finish it."

Indeed, the 25-year-old has little reason to leave Atletico right now.

Under Diego Simeone's tutelage, the squad have joined Real and Barcelona as a team that can realistically challenge for La Liga, and the club will contest their second UEFA Champions League final in three years on Saturday, which shows just how far they've come in Europe.

Nevertheless, until a new contract is signed, he'll continue to be linked heavily with a move away, and it wouldn't be a surprise if one or more of the interested parties attempted to test Atletico's resolve with a large bid.

With comments such as this emanating from his camp, speculation will only increase.
