LaLiga: Atletico Madrid confident of keeping Antoine Griezmann
Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo has declared himself quite optimistic regarding Antoine Griezmann's future at the club, despite rumours linking the French strikers with moves to either Manchester United or Barcelona. The French international himself had fueled the rumours by saying that there is a "six out of 10" chance he will join Manchester United. The club president says that the player has not expressed his desire to leave and the club won't let him go for less than his minimum fee release clause, which is set at 100 million euros. "His recent comments do not surprise me. He gets asked the same question all the time," Cerezo said. "I think he is getting a little annoyed at having to answer the same question again and again when everyone knows his situation. The situation is that Antoine is an Atletico player and still has a contract for three or four more years." "There has not been any approach from Manchester United," the president added. "At the moment, no team has offered us to pay his release clause. And I do not think anyone will meet his clause." Griezmann is under contract with Atletico until 2021. He has scored 16 goals in 36 league appearances this season as Atletico Madrid finished third in LaLiga behind Real Madrid and Barcelona. Antoine Griezmann is 1/5 at SkyBet to join Manchester United this summer and 10/3 to remain at Atletico Madrid at the end of the transfer window.
