Griezmann favours Barcelona over Man Utd - though Mourinho has plan

Manchester United are willing to double Antoine Griezmann's wages to tempt him from Atletico Madrid.

Griezmann was Jose Mourinho's top target at Manchester United last summer.

But Atletico's transfer ban saw the 26-year-old opt to stay instead.

Don Balon says Barcelona are now proposing a five-year deal worth annually in excess of £13m. However, Griezmann wants more at the Nou Camp to put him on par with Luis Suarez, who earns close to £18m a year.

And United are willing to offer almost double the £13m a year their European rivals are proposing.

Griezmann, though, would apparently accept a move to the Nou Camp for less than what he can get at Old Trafford.
