United‘s chances of landing Griezmann are beginning to look increasingly bleak as he now claims he is willing to stay at Atletico for now, but wants a move to either Barca, Real or Bayern in the future.

But when asked if that was the case, Griezmann told L'Equipe: "No, it's not.
"He will leave one day, and in the summer I called him up to check if he was going to stay on.
"He told me of his plans for the season, that he wanted me to stay, and that made me feel happy.
