Juventus Turin would be interested in Antoine Griezmann for the next winter transfer window.
Four years ago, Antoine Griezmann sat on top of the world. The striker had slammed 4 goals with the France team, including a penalty in the final against Croatia (4-1). Leader of the tricolor attack after being great at Euro 2016 in France, number 7 shone and was crowned world champion. The native of Mâcon has since lost his luster. Clearly. Griezmann appears in decline at 31 years old.
Griezmann does not start matches with Atlético
His transfer to FC Barcelona, for 120 million euros, clearly slowed him down in 2019. He was supposed to go even higher alongside Lionel Messi in particular, but it didn’t work. So, two years later, Antoine Griezmann returned to his first love, to Atlético de Madrid where Diego Simeone continues to adore him. On loan for two years from Barça to the Colchoneros, “Grizou” has not played much since the start of the season because he is at the heart of a financial battle between the two clubs. If he plays at least 45 minutes in 50% of the matches for which he is available, Atlético will have to pay 40 million euros to the Catalan club.
Juventus interested in several French
So, the Frenchman does not start the matches this season and enters half an hour from the end. Almost systematically, except against Real Madrid, on September 18 before the international break, a derby he started. “Grizou”, whom Didier Deschamps continues to trust in the French team, still scores despite his low accumulated playing time (2 goals in La Liga, 1 in the Champions League), is decisive and still arouses interest in Europe. Like those of Juventus Turin. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Italian club would indeed be interested in Griezmann for the next winter transfer window. Dissatisfied with the failed start to the season – Juve are 8th after 7 days in Serie A with already 4 draws, 1 defeat and only 2 small victories – the Turin leaders have targeted several profiles like that of the Frenchman. Other representatives of France arouse the lusts of the Old Lady according to La Gazzetta such as the Monegasque Benoît Badiashile and Evan Ndicka (Eintracht Frankfurt). The Bianconeri would also think of Marco Asensio (Real Madrid) and Christian Pulisic (Chelsea) in attack.
