According to reports from The Express, Chelsea and Manchester United target Antoine Griezmann has insisted he’s not interested in leaving Atletico Madrid during the coming transfer window.
The former Real Sociedad forward has flourished since moving to Vincente Calderon in summer 2014, bagging 47 goals in 92 appearances across all competitions – including 15 strikes in La Liga so far this season – before this weekend’s round of fixtures.

Chelsea and Manchester United have been chasing the 24-year-old for some time and were linked with his services once again this week, amid news negotiations over a new contract had broken down. Atletico want to bump up his release clause from £62million to £112million, but Griezmann remains reluctant to agree such a proposal.
That quickly sparked rumours of the Blues and the Red Devils looking to capitalise on the situation by reviving their interest ahead of the summer transfer window, but the France international has insisted that he isn’t planning on trading the Spanish capital for the Premier League anytime soon.
As quoted by The Express, he recently told Radio Monte Carlo; “[My career], in this moment, passes through trying to go as far as possible in the Champions League and winning the European Championship. I only think about that and I have no desire to leave Atletico.”
