The Atletico Madrid star is one player who is on almost all the top European club's transfer wish-list. However, it's Real Madrid and Barcelona who are leading the chase.

Manchester United were the one linked with a move for the French striker, but the player's concern over the city's weather has halted the Red Devils' move for him. He has an £85 million release clause has that has actually put Atletico in a tight spot.

Both Madrid and Barcelona are ready to activate his release clause and sign him this summer. The Rojiblancos can't do anything to stop him from joining the rivals should he also decide to leave the club!
