Juventus tipped to pip rivals to Antoine Griezmann signature

Juventus are reportedly planning to swoop for Atletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann this summer.

The Turin giants are aiming to snap up the France international from under the noses of Barcelona and Manchester United, according to Tuttosport.

Previous reports suggest that Barca have held initial talks with their Spanish rivals over a potential £88m deal to bring Griezmann to Catalonia.

United, meanwhile, are said to be long-term admirers of the striker, although their interest in him appears to have diminished since Alexis Sanchez joined the club from Arsenal.

The Old Lady are believed to be plotting a last-ditch bid to lure Griezmann to Italy in a move which could raise questions about Paulo Dybala's long-term future at the club.
