Atletico Madrid's Antoine Griezmann 'ditches agent'

Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann ditches his agent as speculation surrounding the Frenchman's future continues to gather pace.

Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann has ditched his agent amid suggestions that the France international will leave the Vicente Calderon in a big-money move at the end of the season.

The 25-year-old only signed a new five-year contract at Atletico in June, but it is understood that Manchester United, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain are all preparing offers for the former Real Sociedad attacker.

Since joining Atletico from Sociedad in 2014, Griezmann has scored 59 times in 110 appearances, including 32 in 54 matches last season as the capital outfit once again reached the Champions League final.

The speculation surrounding Griezmann's future is expected to continue after the forward confirmed that he will now "work without an agent" and will instead 'look to his father for advice'.

"I will now work without an agent but I will always look to my father and Eric Olhats, my mentor, for advice," Griezmann told L'Equipe.

Earlier this month, the France international revealed that he would "think about leaving" Atletico if head coach Diego Simeone, whose future is also the subject of speculation, were to depart the Spanish club.
