Man Utd offer DOUBLE of Griezmann's Atletico Madrid buyout clause

Manchester United are willing to offer €50m to Atletico Madrid for Antoine Griezmann.

Okdiario says United manager Erik ten Hag is 'crazy' about the France striker as he seeks a readymade goalscorer for the January market.

Griezmann's contract carries a €25m buyout clause, but United are willing to pay double that to convince Atletico and the player about a sale.

However, Griezmann is currently reluctant to leave Atletico and Spain and favours staying where he is.

The World Cup winner rejected a €200m-a-year offer from the Saudi Pro League last summer.

And given Atletico's position as a title contender this season, it will take all of Ten Hag's persuasive powers to convince Griezmann to leave.
