Rumour: Manchester United ready to offer Antoine Griezmann similar contract to Paul Pogba
Posted Saturday, January 07, 2017 by squawka.com
Manchester United have made their move for Atletico Madrid's star man Antoine Griezmann, and are willing to offer the Frenchman a similar contract to the one that persuaded Paul Pogba to return to Old Trafford.
The Red Devils are prepared to pay Griezmann around £220,000 a week to prise him away from the Spanish capitol.
The Sun reports that delegates from United discussed personal terms with the player's representatives during talks this week.
The signing would be another huge statement of intent from a club looking to return to the Champions League.
The deal has become more likely after the Madrid side's poor run of form, which has seen them drop down to sixth in La Liga and win just three of their last eight league matches.
Diego Simeone's side are currently nine points adrift of their rivals Real, who sit at the top of the table and have a game in hand.
Griezmann has scored six goals in the league so far, as well as registering four assists.
