Manchester United were one of the busiest clubs in the summer transfer window at the start of the season as they managed to break a world record to try and improve the squad for this season.
The manager is still evidently unhappy with the options at his disposal and has been looking to add some star players to his squad. Mourinho is desperate for an attacking addition and wants some of the biggest names to move to the Old Trafford.
However, they were dealt a huge blow in the pursuit of top transfer target Antoine Griezmann.
The French international is arguably the most prolific goal scorer in Europe at the moment and has been in hot form for the Spanish outfit this season.
Though he has constantly insisted that he is happy at the Vicente Calderon and that he is ready to extend his stay, rumors have constantly linked him with an exit with the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea monitoring his situation.
But according to Mundo Deportivo Spanish giants Barcelona have now made Griezmann their top transfer target for this summer.
The Camp Nou outfit are desperately looking to add star players to their squad at the end of the season but are also looking for players who can replace first team star Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez in the long term.
The Argentine international is currently 29 and is not going to stay at the club forever while Uruguay striker Suarez is currently 30, and is in the one of the last years of his prime as a footballer.
The report suggests that Barcelona are already planning for life after the duo and have identified Atletico Madrid’s Antoine Griezmann and Juventus’ Paulo Dybala for a move this summer.
Messi is yet to extend his contract with the Spanish outfit even as a huge deal is on the table and it is now understood that Barcelona are ready to splash £90m to lure Griezmann to Camp Nou keeping him away from England.
Dybala on the other hand seems to be the perfect fit for Barcelona as his attributes will make this Barcelona attack all the more exciting. He will be a great addition to the squad but it is understood that Griezmann’s experience in La Liga might see Barcelona move for him this summer.
Do you think the Catalan giants need to spend on Griezmann this summer
