Esp: The temptation of the Premier League for Griezmann
Returning to Atlético Madrid since last summer, Antoine Griezmann is already the subject of rumors on the transfer market. The French striker would interest several formations including Tottenham Spurs.
While he was promised hell for his return to the Wanda Metropolitano, Antoine Griezmann was forgiven quite quickly. His departure from FC Barcelona was still not digested last summer. But the involvement of the French striker ended up calming the audience at Atlético Madrid. It is true that the player loaned with a compulsory purchase option by Barça, without being exceptional, had a rather convincing first part of the season. His seven goals and three assists in all competitions show that the Madrilenian has not completely lost his qualities in Catalonia.
Griezmann shouldn’t budge
New proof if need be, the Fichajes.net site reveals that several groups are interested in his profile on the transfer market. And among them, it is Tottenham who would be the most determined. It remains to be seen whether Antoine Griezmann and Atlético Madrid would accept Spurs’ advances. Nothing is less sure. In his media outings, coach Diego Simeone regularly compliments the mentality and performance of his striker. We can think that the Argentine coach and his superiors have no reason to push him towards the exit.
As for the main interested party, everyone knows his preference for the Spanish championship. The Habs international has never seemed interested in the Premier League, not even back when Manchester United coveted him. It would therefore be surprising to see him slip away at this point in his career. Only the financial aspect could possibly make the different parties think. But at almost 31 years old, Antoine Griezmann will surely not receive a golden bridge from Tottenham, which is not the type to offer crazy sums.
