#4 United re-emerge as favourites to sign Griezmann
The Antonio Griezmann saga has taken an unexpected turn after recent reports revealed that the Frenchman was furious at Barcelona and their players. The Spanish champions were the front runners for the signature of the Frenchman in a £108 million deal, but we had revealed in this segment on 24th May that the Barcelona hierarchy had a change of heart and were convinced that the money would be better spent elsewhere.
The Express now reports that the Frenchman is furious with the recent turn of events and is particularly angry with the Barcelona players for advising the club against a potential deal. He feels that the Barcelona stars are desperately trying to stop him from joining the club. Griezmann even thinks that it could influence the Catalan giants to ultimately cancel any plans of bringing him to the Camp Nou.
All these uncertainly has put United in an unexpected advantage. The Red Devils were interested in signing the Atletico Madrid star in 2017 before he snubbed them and Jose Mourinho had to settle for Lukaku. Now it remains to be seen if Solskjaer can manage to get the player who eluded his predecessor.
