Could Manchester United hijack Antoine Griezmann's move to Barcelona? Reports claim Solskjaer is preparing a £95m bid for Atletico star
* Manchester United reportedly exploring late move for Antoine Griezmann
* The Premier League club are willing to smash their transfer record to sign him
* It may come too late, though, with reports suggesting move to Barcelona is done
Manchester United are preparing to launch a last-ditch attempt to bring Antoine Griezmann to Old Trafford.
The France international's move to Barcelona appears a done deal, however the Premier League club are reportedly readying one final move.
According to The Sun, United are ready to break their transfer record to land the striker, with a £95million offer in the works.
The story claims that the lack of an official approach by the Catalan giants has given United hope, as well as Griezmann's own comments while on international duty.
Speaking to reporters earlier this month, he said: 'I don't know if I will stay in La Liga.
'I know where I want to go. I am also keen to get this over with as quickly as possible.'
However, despite United's revived hopes, other sources seem to indicate that the bid may well be in vain.
Speaking to Spanish daily Sport, Atletico's CEO Gil Martin insists that the club have known since March that Griezmann would be joining their Spanish rivals.
Manchester United are plotting a last-gasp move for Atletico Madrid's Antoine Griezmann. Griezmann has long been linked with joining Barcelona, and that still seems likely
He told the publication: 'I am very clear about where he is going to play, it is known since March, at Barcelona.'
It is understood that the former Real Sociedad forward is willing to take a pay cut to secure his move to the Nou Camp.
He currently earns £20m a year at the Wanda Metropolitano, but is happy to accept terms that would see him take home £15m when he moves to the Spanish champions.

Barca masih ragu mo rekrut Griezmann atau tidak, katanya pemain Barca banyak yg gak setuju, United harus nyalip nih tapi masalahnya Griezmann mau main di EL gak? dan sepertinya harus jual Sanchez untuk dapat dana segar. jadi no 7 nya bisa dipake Griezmann, tolong agent DB bertindak
