GRIEZMANN IS NOT LEAVING - ATLETICO MADRID PRESIDENT TELLS MAN UTD

Why Griezmann will not join Manchester United this summer – Atletico Madrid president

Atletico Madrid president, Enrique Cerezo, has said that the club was determined to keep Antoine Griezmann, because it would not make sense for him to leave.

Griezmann will sign a new five-year contract with Atletico, which will see his release clause unchanged at €100million.

This means the France international will stay at least one more year in Spain, amid heavy speculation linking him with a move to Manchester United this summer.

“Yes, it’s one more year and the release clause will remain the same.

“The issue of the money is a private one. We have maintained a confidentiality agreement with respect to the money.

“I said many times that Griezmann would not leave. After months and months of reporting, time has proved me right,” he told Cadena SER.

Atleti are banned from registering new players before January 2018 by FIFA.
