United bank on Pogba to seal Griezmann deal

London: Manchester United hope Paul Pogba could hold the key to beating Chelsea and Arsenal to Antoine Griezmann‘s signature.

Jose Mourinho has made the Frenchman his No. 1 target in the summer as he looks to re-establish the Old Trafford glory days.

But Arsenal and Chelsea also want Griezmann, with The

Telegraph reporting the Blues are willing to meet his £89.3mil (RM460mil) release clause.

That would make the Atletico Madrid star the most expensive player ever – ahead of pal Pogba.

Griezmann, 25, admitted earlier this week that France’s run to the final at Euro 2016 had strengthened their bond.

He said: “We get on very well. It is true that the Euros has brought us closer together still.

“Paul is a really nice guy. He is it! We send messages, Snapchats. He’s really a good friend.

“When he plays with his club, I try to look at it to see if he had a good game or not.” — The Sun, London
