Bayern Munich 'prepared to activate Antoine Griezmann release clause'

Bayern Munich are reportedly prepared to activate the release clause of Atletico Madrid attacker Antoine Griezmann in this summer's transfer window.

The 28-year-old is enjoying another productive season at Atletico, finding the back of the net on 20 occasions in 43 appearances in all competitions.

Griezmann's current release clause stands at £200m, but it is understood that the figure will drop to £129m at the start of July.

According to reports in Spain, Bayern are preparing to spend big in this summer's transfer window and that will include activating Griezmann's buy-out figure in a bid to bring the Frenchman to Germany.

The attacker was strongly linked with a move to Barcelona last summer but ultimately signed a new long-term contract at the Wanda Metropolitano ahead of the 2018 World Cup.

Bayern have already secured the signature of Atletico defender Lucas Hernandez ahead of the 2019-2020 campaign.
