Chelsea may want to take note of transfer gossip emerging from Spain today as it’s claimed Antoine Griezmann wants out of Atletico Madrid.
Dumped out of the Champions League by Juventus this week, it’s not been the best season for Griezmann at Atletico, and Don Balon claim he’s had enough and wants a big move to a club who play more ambitious football.
