Atletico Madrid striker Antoine Griezmann has admitted that he would like to play in England one day, although he is not desperate to leave his current employers.
Since arriving from Real Sociedad two years ago, the Frenchman has evolved into one of Europe’s most prolific forwards, finding the net in La Liga 22 times in each of the last two seasons.
Speaking to French publication Telefoot, Griezmann said he would prefer a move to England than a switch to Ligue 1 should he leave the Calderon, but that he is happy with Atletico.
This would seemingly rule out a move to Paris St-Germain, or even a cross-city move to arch rivals Real Madrid. But Manchester United have also been linked with Griezmann, and their ears may well have been pricked by his admission.
“A transfer between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid is not an option,” Griezmann said.
“Barcelona would be an option. But they have three untouchables in attack at the moment.
“PSG could be an interesting option, but I do not want to move to Ligue 1 at this stage of my career.
“I prefer to stay in La Liga or maybe move to the Premier League. I have heard the Premier League is crazy, so why not?
“But I do not want to leave Atletico at all costs.”
