Manchester United target Antoine Griezmann drops transfer hint in French advert
ATLETICO MADRID striker Antoine Griezmann has dropped a fresh transfer hint as he continues to be linked with a move to Manchester United.
Griezmann is at the top of Jose Mourinho's wish list this summer, with the France international recently admitting there was a six out of 10 chance of joining Manchester United.
But has the Atletico man just dropped the biggest hint that he will reject Mourinho's call this summer?
Griezmann starred in an advert for Chinese technology company Huawei in which he receives an incoming call on his watch from "Jose".
But unfortunately for United fans - the 26-year-old politely declines it in order to take a photo with his fans.
Italian journalist Tancredi Palmeri today claimed the Red Devils have already agreed terms with the French striker, but are keen to negotiate his £86million release clause.
Palmeri posted on Twitter: "It's all true: Manchester United and Griezmann reached an agreement on personal terms.
"Now Mufc trying to negotiate to cut bit of clause.
"I can tell you: Manchester United are fully confident to bring Griezmann, whether that would take to pay the clause or not."
Griezmann insists his future lies in the hands of his agent and Atletico president Enrique Cerezo, but admits he would be happy to remain at the La Liga giants this summer.
"I am good at the club. My agents are talking with Atletico and we will see what happens,” Griezmann said.
“My future will be decided this summer. If I do leave this summer, the date will depend on the qualifying phase of the World Cup.
"I am happy here. I have spoken with the manager, with Koke and Godin. It is in the hands of the president of the club. We will see how it goes."
Griezmann would link up with France team-mate Paul Pogba if he switched to Old Trafford - and the midfielder has done little to play down the speculation.
Pogba, currently on France duty with Griezmann, told French outlet Telefoot: "Play with Antoine Griezmann next season? Watch this space."
