Olympique de Marseille keeping tabs on Antoine Griezmann – Ligue 1 news
Reports in French media suggest that Ligue 1 giants Olympique de Marseille are keeping tabs on young French attacker Antoine Griezmann.
The youngster is currently under contract at Spanish La Liga outfit Real Sociedad where he has been playing since 2009.
The youngster was under the radar of many European clubs in the summer transfer window but the youngster failed to secure a move away from the Basque Country club.
Abandoned by his agent with whom he was under contract until the end of October, the Frenchman hasn’t really made a bright start to the new campaign. However, due to his age and undoubted talent, Griezmann still has a good financial standing in the market.
According to Le Parisien, Marseille are keen on making a move for the 20-year-old in the upcoming winter transfer window. Already, Jean-Pierre Bernes has left http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 to scout the youngster in the upcoming La Liga matches.
Furthermore, Didier Deschamps is keen on adding a suitable attacker to his side in the winter transfer window. Following his outburst with Didier Deschamps in a training session last week, striker Andre-Pierre Gignac’s future at the club is certainly debatable
and the Frenchman could leave Stade Velodrome.
This would make way for a new player and Deschamps is reportedly eager on signing the talented midfielder who has played 86 games for Sociedad in his young career.
The Macon-born Frenchman has also expressed his desire of one day returning to French football and the upcoming transfer window could be a great time for Griezmann to return to his native country.
However, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127 could face some stiff competition in order to sign the young talent. Reports suggest that Atletico Madrid are keen on bringing the player to the Madrid-based club and have already contacted Sociedad in regards to the availability
of the player.
With Sociedad lying at the bottom of the La Liga table, Griezmann is also keen on jumping ship in order to notch up a gear in his career. After playing in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 for two years, Griezmann could certainly be the kind of player Deschamps wants.
