Just days after the transfer window closed, the works are already in motion for potentially a second-successive world transfer record.
Enter Antoine Griezmann, with Manchester United setting their sights on nailing down Paul Pogba’s France teammate to continue a Galactico era at Old Trafford.
Though the Atletico star is adamant he would only leave if Diego Simeone departed, the Telegraph now reports that Chelsea are plotting to make their move too.
The Blues might grant Diego Costa his wish to return to the Spanish capital — rather than trigger Griezmann’s £84 million release clause — in order to sweeten the deal.
