Winger to reject Premier League move

Chelsea target, Antoine Griezmann, insists that he is happy at Atletico Madrid and wants to stay for at least next season, in the run up to Euro 2016.

The 24-year-old is wanted by many Champions League clubs after scoring 22 goals in just 37 appearances in La Liga this campaign.

Interest in Griezmann

Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain are favourites to land the France international, with the Premier League champions lining up a massive bid for the striker, who has a ÂŁ43million release clause.

However, both clubs will find it hard to sign the forward after being pushed aside following their initial inquires.

According to reports in France, Griezmann is going to reject both offers as he is settled at the Vicente Calderon.

Move Rejected

The former Real Sociedad star feels that a move away from the Spanish giants might affect he chances of getting in France’s starting line-up next summer.

Euro 2016 is held in his native France and the striker wants to play a vital role for his country and become a hero in his own back yard.

Although, he could find chances limited in the France side if he fails to impress at a new club and reports in France suggest that he doesn’t want to take that risk – for at least one more season.
