Manchester United is set to try to sign Antoine Griezmann, who currently plays for Atletico in Madrid.
Spanish media reports state that the Premier League 13-time champions may offer the player a salary tripled to convince him to move.
The fee is perfectly affordable, as the reported release clause of PS23.6million indicates.
Jim Ratcliffe is close to signing a 25% stake in United Football Club, which would allow him to take an active role.
Signing the French international could be a good way to start his tenure as transfer manager at Old Trafford.
Griezmann is one of the top players in the World since he returned to Atleti in 2021 from Barcelona.
No player registered more assists than the 126-cap Frenchman during the World Cup 2022.
In 2022-23, he scored 16 goals at club level and had 19 assists. He has now already scored 12 goals in 16 games this season.
United may soon be in need of a high-class attacking player, as the future of Jadon, Antony, and Anthony Martial is uncertain.
