Antoine Griezmann has been given a massive pay-hike by Atletico Madrid as part of a new contract that ties him to the club until 2022.
But the Frenchman has resisted the club’s attempt to raise his buy-out clause and will cost Manchester United the same €100m (£88m) fee he would have cost them this summer if they come back in for him next year.
The 26-year-old Frenchman moves into the big pay league with a salary estimated to be worth €14million net a season, at £12.3million that means he will pick up around £235,000 a week net.
