Atletico confident that Griezmann will see out his remaining contract

Atletico Madrid’s forward Antoine Griezmann future is unclear and has been linked with a move to Barcelona. Despite signing a new contract last year which has a release clause €100 million, Griezmann could leave as Barcelona are prepared to pay his release clause.

Spanish club are looking for potential candidates to replace the Frenchman and have identified Juventus forward Paulo Dybala. According to reports, Dybala and Atletico’s coach Diego Simeone met on Monday at a restaurant in Madrid to convince the Argentinian to join the club in the summer. Dybala’s brother was also there and it’s reported that a five year contract has been agreed between them. It is believed that a fee of €150 million would be enough to sign the forward.

But Atletico have denied that they have made any contact with Dybala.

According to  MARCA, Atletico Madrid deny reports that they have agreed a five-year deal with Juventus forward Paulo Dybala in the event that Antoine Griezmann leaves the Wanda Metropolitano this summer. They stated that it was just a casual meeting in the restaurant between two persons  who are in the same profession.

Massimiliano Allegri saw the entertaining side of the reports:

“I hope Simeone at least offered to buy him lunch,” he joked in his pre-match press conference.

“These things happen.

“You go to the restaurant and perhaps Simeone is there.”

Atletico Madrid are also confident that Griezmann will stay beyond the summer and see out his remaining contract.
