Manchester United Given Massive Boost As Simeone Reveals Griezmann’s Release Clause

Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone has revealed that Manchester United can sign Antoine Griezmann this summer if the Premier League giants can meet his release clause.

Despite not being disclosed officially by the club, the talented Frenchman is expected to have a massive €100 million (£86.4m) release clause in his current contract with the Spanish giants.

Manchester United are the leading club to sign the prolific French striker as they eye a big money move for Griezmann this summer.

When asked by AS whether there is a risk of Griezmann moving away this summer, the Argentine tactician said: ‘Yes, because there is a termination clause. There is no security.’

He further confirmed that the 26-year old has stayed at the club last summer as he said: ‘Well, that’s what he told me: ‘If you stay, I’ll stay.’

‘And I said yes, that how I was not going to stay.

‘And they began to work with the representatives for everything that had to be signed. And he stayed.

‘And from now on I do not know what can happen. The best thing that happens to the team is going to be, without doubt, better for the great players.

‘Because the great players want to play the Champions League and compete until the end, and Griezmann is a great player.

‘And he would never let me tell him to stay. I did not do it with Costa or Falcao.

‘To the players who have given me life I accompany them in the decisions that they make. But it is clear that whenever he stays, the team and the club will continue to grow.’

Antoine Griezmann could be one of the big names that can be available in market this summer and a host of clubs are set to fight for him. However, Manchester United can be considered favorites as Atletico are not keen to sell their star man to their direct rivals in Barcelona or Real Madrid.
