Atletico Madrid 'readying bumper new contract for Antoine Griezmann'

Atletico Madrid are allegedly prepared to offer Antoine Griezmann a lucrative new contract in an attempt to keep him at the club beyond this summer.

The France international has been linked with teams including Manchester United and Barcelona of late, but Atleti are said to be readying a pay rise offer to ward off his suitors.

According to The Mirror, the La Liga outfit are prepared to bump Griezmann's wages up to £300,000 a week if he pledges his long-term future to the club, despite renewing his contract one year ago.

Atletico manager Diego Simeone recently vowed to remain at the club, and reports suggest that the team's hierarchy have promised him that Griezmann will not be sold.

The 27-year-old is rumoured to have a buyout clause in his contract, set at around £100m.
