Barcelona reportedly leaving Manchester United behind in Griezmann pursuit

Manchester United couldn't finalise a deal with Atletico Madrid's Antoine Griezmann during the summer transfer window and Barcelona are said to have taken the pole position when it comes to the forward's future.

Los Rojiblancos' transfer sanctions resulted in the Frenchman staying in Madrid for another season, but the Catalans are ready to proceed with his acquisition next June.

According to The Independent, some of Griezmann's Atleti teammates have claimed that the capital of Catalonia will be the next destination of the 26-year-old starlet.

As reported by the English website, Ernesto Valverde's club are 'very far ahead' of the Red Devils in their pursuit to rack up the player's signature.

After Neymar's departure to Paris Saint-Germain, the Barcelona board seem eager to reinforce their frontline with another top quality player.

Although the France international renewed his contract in June, a potential move hasn't been ruled out and Barcelona seem to be the favourites to secure his signature, while United may have already set eyes on other potential targets.
