Antoine Griezmann Set To Leave Atletico Madrid – Possible Destination – Chelsea or Man United.

Madrid: Antoine Griezmann could leave Atletico Madrid this summer after his agent said he was considering offers from a number of clubs.

The French forward has been a revelation for the Madrid outfit since joining from Real Sociedad in the summer of 2014 and has been linked with a move to the Premier League.

Atletico have offered the 25-year-old a new contract as they look to keep him from the clutches of Manchester United and Chelsea, but Eric Olhats said that his client's future was far from certain.

'Contrary to certain claims announcing that Antoine at Atletico next season will be the case without fail, nothing has been decided or endorsed,' Olhats told L'Equipe.

'We are currently listening to different clubs who also offer real interest and attraction.'

Griezmann scored Atletico's crucial away goal against Bayern Munich to take them through to their second Champions League final against Real Madrid in three years, and they are keen to tie him down to a new long-term contract as soon as possible.

The versatile attacker's current deal expires in 2020 but Atletico are keen to fend off interest in their star striker as Euro 2016 approaches.

Griezmann has scored seven goals in 25 appearances for France and will be representing his country next month as the Euros take place in his homeland.
