Manchester United Transfer News: Antoine Griezmann Bid, Top Rumours

Rumours have surfaced that Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho will target Antoine Griezmann from Atletico Madrid with a potential €70 million offer for the French player.

Football writer and journalist Emanuele Giulianelli speculated on the massive deal via social media:

The France international starred for Atleti as they sprinted to the UEFA Champions League final, losing out to bitter rivals Real Madrid.

However, Atletico president Enrique Cerezo has stated none of his star attractions will be leaving the Vicente Calderon Stadium in the summer, according to Coral Barry of Sky Sports:

"

Whenever you lose a title you are upset. But Atletico have always shown that we win and we lose together. Our sporting directors are looking for a striker but besides that, the group is going to be more or less the same as last season as it's a great team that finished third in La Liga and reached the Champions League final.

"

Here is the diminutive genius in action for his club:

Griezmann continues to witness his stock rise after the Rojiblancos' excellent campaign, scoring 22 goals in 36 Primera Division starts, per WhoScored.com.

In other news, the uncertainty surrounding Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s future remains, but the Swedish icon has continued to flirt with the Red Devils in public.

Bleacher Report’s Jonathan Johnson quoted the player speaking on Tuesday, and he was deliberately vague about his potential switch to Old Trafford, but shed light on his departure from Paris Saint Germain:

United fans will start to get nervous as the delay continues; the fanbase craves a world-class striker such as Ibrahimovic, and will be stung if he lands at another destination after extreme speculation.

The PSG star is one of the great talents in world football, and despite his ageing legs, he appears in top condition, finding the net with metronomic ease.

The faithful will be praying the striker puts them out of their misery in the coming days, as Ibrahimovic finally announces his next stop on his roller-coaster career.
