Griezmann: I’d prefer Premier League move if I leave Atletico Madrid
Posted Monday, November 28, 2016 by squawka.com
Antoine Griezmann has revealed that he would favour a move to a Premier League club if he ever leaves Atletico Madrid.
Griezmann has been linked with Chelsea and Manchester United in the past, and stated that he would prefer to move to an English club rather than a French side.
As reported by the Mirror, Griezmann said: "I cannot go to Real - there is a pact between the two clubs that prohibits a transfer.
At Barca, there is no pact but their front three are indispensable."
"PSG? It is an interesting possibility but Ligue 1 does not interest me for now. I would prefer to stay in La Liga or go to the Premier League."
Griezmann is widely regarded as one of the standout attackers in world football, with the 25-year-old having showcased his credentials at Euro 2016, when he was hugely impressively for France.
A skillful player who is also an astute finisher, Griezmann has started the campaign hugely impressively and has scored six goals in eleven La Liga fixtures this season.
Griezmann signed a new contract with Atletico in the summer, which temporarily ended speculation about his future, but those rumours have since resurfaced and, if he continues to impress to such an extent, a significant bid will surely be made for him at some stage.
