Antoine Griezmann "close" to new Atletico Madrid deal

Atletico Madrid striker Antoine Griezmann has confirmed that he is "close" to signing a new contract with the club.

The France international has been heavily linked with a move away from the Vicente Calderon amid speculation that a number of European sides were keen on his services.

However, the 25-year-old has insisted that he remains committed to the Champions League finalists.

"I am good at Atletico. I am close to renewing my contract. We are on the path," he told Canal Football.

According to AS, the fresh terms will see Griezmann's buyout clause rise to around £80m.
