REVEALED: Man Utd target Griezmann called Zidane about Real Madrid move

Atletico Madrid attacker Antoine Griezmann has spoken to Zinedine Zidane about a move to Real Madrid.

Griezmann, who is also wanted by Manchester United, committed to Atletico last night after the club's appeal against a transfer ban was rejected.

Don Balon says the Frenchman had offered to sign for Real this summer, after a conversation with Zidane.

Zidane was keen on the deal, but it was vetoed by Real president Florentino Perez, who wants to focus their resources on landing AS Monaco starlet Kylian Mbappe.

It's suggested in Spain that Griezmann has already called United officials to say he cannot leave Atletico after Thursday's CAS ruling.
