Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann has revealed that he turned down a move to Paris Saint-Germain in the summer transfer window.
The 25-year-old has attracted interest from many clubs due to his impressive performances for Atletico in recent seasons.
Chelsea were linked with a world-record £90m swoop for the France international, while Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho is believed to be an admirer.
Griezmann has claimed that PSG made an approach during the European Championships, but the forward opted to remain at the Vicente Calderon.
"Yes [I knew of PSG's interest], but as it was during Euros I told my agent I did not want to listen," The Mirror quotes Griezmann as saying.
"I told him, 'I do not want you talking to me of Atletico or Paris - I want you to leave me in Clairefontaine (France's training camp).' But I know they were very interested. They are a big club that wants to become even bigger. I hope for them that they will get there."
Griezmann has spent the last two years at Atletico following his £24m move from Real Sociedad in 2014.
