Antoine Griezmann has said he is ready to leave Atletico Madrid this summer, if he has a better chance of winning titles elsewhere.
The France international is Manchester United’s number one target this summer, with Jose Mourinho ready to sanction a bid that will match the player’s £85million release clause.
On Monday night Griezmann told French TV, that the chances of him joining United were “six out of 10” . He also claimed his future will be sorted “within two weeks.”
Speaking on Tuesday at a book launch for his autobiography – entitled Derrière le sourire (Behind the Smile), Griezmann spoke at length about his future.
“We [Atletico] finished third in La Liga. It was the objective of the club, but we, the players, want more.
“With Atletico I’ve reached a final and a semi-final in the Champions League; we’re close, but we lack something. I’ll see what the club do. It will depend on the transfers.
“My family, know that I love football to win trophies.
“I want to win titles. I’ve reached a point where playing nice football and scoring goals isn’t enough anymore. That’s it. Winning titles is what I’m looking for this summer, when deciding my future,” he said.
