Manchester United have been interested in hiring the services of Antoine Griezmann for a long time now and reports suggest that they will have to pay a huge sum to finally secure his signature this summer.
According to Daily Mail, the French international is interested in joining the Red Devils but wants a mammoth salary that will make him earn £77million in the next five years.
If United do pay Griezmann the above mentioned wages, he will become the Premier League’s best paid player. Not to forget, apart from the terms, United also have to activate the huge release clause to sign him from Atletico Madrid.
Last night, Atletico were thrashed 3-0 by neighbors Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League semi final and the Les Bleus attacker was clearly out of form.
Nevertheless, the former Real Sociedad star is one of the best attacking midfielders in the world and will largely improve Man United’s attack. He finished 3rd in the race for Ballon d’Or for his top performances in the last campaign.
Griezmann can be deployed anywhere in the attacking department but Diego Simeone has mainly used him as a secondary striker.
This season, the 26-year-old playmaker has featured in 49 games in all competitions for the La Liga side, scored 25 goals and also provided 11 assists.
