Is he or isn't he? The transfer of Antoine Griezmann to Manchester United has been speculated for months but it now looks more likely than ever that a deal is on the cards, with huge news emerging overnight.
According to the papers today, Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann has been offered £220,000 a week to join Manchester United - the same wage as fellow French international Paul Pogba, who joined the club last summer in a record deal.
It is believed that Manchester United chiefs discussed personal terms with Griezmann's representatives during talks this week, but the club have yet to agree a fee for the forward.

This is by far the biggest transfer news of the January transfer window yet, as the Atleti forward is set to be offered a £5 million tax-free loyalty bonus if he stays at Old Trafford for five years.
The report from The Sun even states that Mourinho would consider offering players as makeweights in the deal.
Since he impressed at the European Championships this summer, Griezmann has received a lot of interest from suitors but it now looks like the rumours of a move to Manchester United are becoming a reality.
Griezmann has scored 11 goals in 26 appearances for club and country this season, and in total has netted 67 times in 129 appearances for Atletico Madrid.
