Pep Guardiola, who has been making waves ever since arriving at Manchester, is looking to make another big splash by making a play for the Atletico Madrid star-man Antoine Griezmann.
The Telegraph reported that the French forward has been valued around £70m and that Guardiola is seemingly frustrated with his current attacking options.
The Manchester City boss has seen his side succumb to wastefulness in the latter stages of the games one too many times and is now looking to acquire an alternative for, and a partner to Sergio Aguero. It has been reported that he is ready to shell any amounts of money to sign his desired target. The Frenchman fits perfectly into his plans, but faces problems of the competitive variety from long-time suitors, Manchester United.
The 25-year has been on a phenomenal run ever since his move from Real Sociedad to Atletico Madrid in 2014. He has continued the good work with 9 goals and 6 assists in 21 appearances in all competition this season.
Having established himself as a top guy in the International scene as well, Atleti have their work cut out in the form that they would have to prove themselves capable of winning trophies at home as well as in Europe, having fallen short of the feat in recent years, should they want to have a chance of retaining their star forward.
The prospect of reuniting with national comrade Paul Pogba and the opportunity to play at Old Trafford might be key factors should Griezmann decide to move away from the Spanish capital this transfer season. However, the prospect of playing at Manchester City and perform under the management of Pep Guardiola could be enough to sway the signature towards the blue club. The resulting friction from this transfer battle will only mean the heating up of the rivalry between the two clubs.
