10 Players Manchester City Could Sign in the Summer

#8 Antoine Griezmann (Atletico Madrid)

Olympique de Marseille v Club Atletico de Madrid - UEFA Europa League Final

Antoine Griezmann is a 27-year-old centre-forward who currently plays for Atletico Madrid in La Liga. He has also featured for the France national team, having made 67 appearances since his debut in March 2014. Griezmann won the FIFA World Cup with France in the summer of 2018.

After a certain point, there isn't much else a player achieve at a club. This is the case right now with Griezmann at Atletico Madrid. Many have felt for years now that he'd be better suited to a team in the Premier League, where he can win prestigious trophies with esteemed clubs; La Liga is a three-horse race (Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid), therefore the excitement of the league has been lost.

Griezmann has scored 12 goals and registered 6 assists in just 28 appearances for Atletico this season. This is slightly less than he's achieved in recent years, but with so much pressure on your shoulders every match, there's no doubting that a lack of confidence might be to blame.

Manchester City would be the ideal destination for Antoine Griezmann. Not only would they pretty much guarantee Griezmann silverware, but he'd also have the privilege of playing with a team of genuine superstars. The only real thing that could thwart this transfer is his price tag; you'd be looking at at least £90m for a player of his services, with a realistic final value of around £120m -- if we're to consider the inflated market.
