Atletico Madrid chiefs want Antoine Griezmann to delay his planned move to Manchester United.
The Telegraph says Griezmann's huge release clause means Atletico would be powerless to stop the French international from moving on in the summer.
And United have shown they are capable of splashing out mega-money after signing Paul Pogba for a world record £89m last summer.
But Atletico want their star striker to wait another season before moving to the Premier League club.
