Barcelona target Antoine Griezmann has teased that he expects to “find out this week” about his future.
Griezmann, 27, has seen the La Liga champions long been linked to paying the €100 million (Dh432.8m) release clause in his Atletico Madrid contract when it kicks in from July 1. The prolific forward’s current employers have also been keen to agree fresh terms.
France boss Didier Deschamps informed his squad that he wants decisions on their futures to be made before World Cup 2018 begins. Les Bleus start their Group C-campaign on June 16 against Australia at Kazan Arena.
“It’s good that you’re taking an interest,” said Griezmann, after the 1-1 friendly draw with United States on Saturday.
“There’s a week to go. I think we will find out this week.”
Griezmann has scored 112 times in 209 games for Atleti since joining from Real Sociedad during July 2014.
