United will pay €100m for Griezmann What looked set to be one of the biggest transfer sagas of the summer could be over before the window even opens, with Manchester United close to completing a deal to sign Antoine Griezmann from Atletico Madrid. There have been plenty of hints from the 26-year-old striker that a move from La Liga to the Premier League was not a formality. Pep to move for Coman reunion Pep Guardiola brought Kingsley Coman to Bayern Munich and may move to bring him to Man City next. Tap-ins - Atletico Madrid defender Jose Gimenez could have to choose between Manchester United and Liverpool this summer.
