Griezmann drops Atletico exit hint

 

Antoine Griezmann has dropped his biggest hint yet that he could leave Atletico Madrid in the summer. 

 

The France international has been strongly linked with a move to Manchester United, though he in the past rebuffed rumours suggesting that a switch to Old Trafford was on the cards. 

 

On Monday, he told French TV that there is a ‘six out of 10’ chance that he would be moving to United this summer. 

 

The 26-year-old has now suggested that he could leave the La Liga giants once the transfer window opens. 

 

Speaking at the launch of his autobiography, he is quoted by L’Equipe as saying: "Today, if I have to move it will be no problem. It may be England because that is fashionable, Germany, China or the United States. I'm ready to go. 

 

"We finished third in La Liga. It was the objective of the club but we as players, we want more. I want to win titles. 

 

"I've come to a point where playing well and scoring goals is not enough anymore. That's it. Winning titles is what I will look for this summer when deciding on my future. 

 

"With Atletico [we] have had a final and a semi-final of the Champions League, we're close, but we lack something." 

 

Atletico’s impending transfer ban could scupper any deal, though the Spanish giants have appealed the sanction to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, with a verdict expected shortly.

Griezmann knows that any decision from the appeal could have a huge bearing on his future, adding: "The club will see what to do, it will depend on the transfer [situation]. 

 

"I do not know if they understand, but all the players, you the media, my family, know that I love football to win trophies. I want to taste this."
