The Frenchman has garnered interest from the likes of Arsenal and Manchester United

Manchester United and Arsenal have emerged as serious contenders to sign the talented Frenchman this summer which seems to be getting on the player's head. Although Griezmann scored the only goal for Atletico last night, he was disappointing overall as he seemed to lack his usual pace and creativity to trouble the Barcelona's defensive line.

Both Simeone and Griezmann had promised to stay with Atletico at least till 2018 but seeing their collapse in the current season, the Frenchman is said to be counting his days with the Colchoneros. Many English clubs are ready to pay his €100 million buyout clause which will see the Frenchman ply his trade in the Premier League next season.
