Antoine Griezmann confirms he is looking to QUIT Atletico Madrid, revealing: ‘I’m ready to go’
- Frenchman's switch to Manchester United is ON after he says he wants to change club to win titles during press conference for release of his autobiography
- Griezmann confirms he could move to England, Germany, China or the United States
ANTOINE GRIEZMANN has reiterated his switch to Manchester United is ON after the Frenchman confirmed he wants to find a new club that contests for trophies.
The 26-year-old told journalists during the launch of his autobiography that he is considering his future - but that will be away from Atletico Madrid.
"It may be England because it is the trend, Germany, China and the United states.
"I'm ready to go."
Atletico Madrid were knocked out of the Champions League in the semi-finals and finished 15 points behind rivals Real, who won La Liga last weekend.
That's despite Griezmann netting 26 times for Diego Simeone's team this season, but he has ended it empty-handed once again, a point that has NOT gone unnoticed by the wantaway striker.
I'm ready to go
Antoine Griezmann
He added: "With Atletico have had a final and a semi final of the Champions League, we're close, but we lack something.
"The club will see what to do, it will depend on the transfer [situation].
"I do not know if they understand, but all the players, the media, my family know that I love football to win trophies, to have these strong emotions. I want to taste [success]."
Griezmann talked last night on a French chat show 'Quotidien' about his future.
The interviewer asked him what the chances were of joining the Red Devils on a scale of one to ten, to which he said: "Six."
The interviewer added: "That’s quite a lot, you understand what you’re saying…?" to which Griezmann replied: "Yes".
He was then asked whether it was the first time he had spoken about a United move publicly, to which he again said "Yes, the first time."
