Griezmann rejects Al Hilal's mammoth bid offer

Spanish press reports revealed that French star Atletico Madrid, Antoine Griezmann, had received an offer from Al Hilal Saudi Arabia, in order to obtain his services during the current summer Mercato. Spanish press reports revealed that Saudi Arabia’s bid to bring the top players in the world to the Middle East continues, with Antoine Griezmann the latest target. As per Achraf Ben Ayad, Saudi Arabian giants Al Hilal recently made an offer for French star and Atletico Madrid Antoine Griezmann of around €40m, although it is not yet clear what he would earn in wages. The Frenchman has just found his groove again at Atletico, and it seems as if he is set on leading Los Colchoneros into battle this season. While it is not impossible for an offer of that magnitude to turn a player’s head too, it would be a surprise if he were to head to the Middle East. "Mundo Deportivo" newspaper stated that the Saudi club Al-Hilal offered Atletico Madrid an amount of 40 million euros to sign its French star Antoine Griezmann, which is higher than the value of the penalty clause in his contract with the Rochi Blancos, which amounts to 25 million euros. The newspaper pointed out that Griezmann wants to continue his career in European stadiums, especially before the next edition of the European Nations Cup, in the summer of 2024 in Germany. The 26-year-old French star has a contract with Atletico Madrid that runs until 2026.
