Manchester City have entered the race for Atletico Madrid superstar Antoine Griezmann, as per reports from The Sun. However, they will face stiff competition with Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Manchester United all vying for his signature.
The French attacker has had a rough season so far, often failing to find form and consistency. However, that didn’t stop the European heavyweights to queue up for the signature of the former Real Sociedad star. And despite his lack of form, the 26-year-old is still one of the hottest footballing commodities in the world and is expected to lead the charge for France in the World Cup next year.
Manchester City, on the other hand, didn’t really have difficulties finding the back of the net this season. Scoring an astonishing 38 goals in 11 games, with a stunning rate of 3.4 goals per game, the Citizens are, without a doubt, the best-attacking team in Europe’s top five leagues this season.
However, considering the fact that just like any other club, Manchester City are also expected to face some difficulties during the course of the season. And even though Sergio Aguero has returned to action following his horrible accident, Pep Guardiola still needs some reinforcements if they are to evolve as hot favourites for the Champions League.
Atletico’s Antoine Griezmann could be a perfect addition to this already stunning Manchester City lineup. With Leroy Sane attracting a lot of attention from Barcelona, Griezmann’s arrival at the club could be a massive bonus for the league leaders.
Not only does he have the quality to make an instant impact in the Premier League but the terrifying attacking lineup of Gabriel Jesus, Aguero, De Bruyne and Griezmann is sure to make Manchester City one of the most feared clubs in Europe.
After a disappointing debut season in the Premier League, Pep Guardiola is back in his groove and is creating something really special, just like he did in Barcelona and Munich. And the addition of Antoine Griezmann will surely help the Catalan get a proper grip into English football.
Furthermore, Pep Guardiola is the right kind of manager who has the potential to further improve the quality of the French International. Considering how impressive he has been in La Liga for these past few years, it’s easy to imagine that the 26-year old’s move to Manchester City could be a game-changer, not just for the club but for the league as well.
