Atletico Madrid are reportedly looking to offload Antoine Griezmann in a bid to free up funds for Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo.

Atletico Madrid are reportedly looking to offload Antoine Griezmann to fund a transfer for Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Frenchman is currently halfway through a two-year loan spell, but the deal includes a compulsory transfer clause, which would see Atletico pay Griezmann's parent club Barcelona €40 million (£34.03m).

Although the 31-year-old only returned to Wanda Metropolitano last summer, he could head through the exit door in the current transfer window.

According to The Times, the La Liga side could offload Griezmann to free up space in the wage bill, which could help fund a transfer for Ronaldo.

Atletico have recently emerged as a possible destination for the United striker, and moving Griezmann on would open the door for a new addition in the forward line.

Despite playing for Atletico's city rivals Real Madrid, Ronaldo is open to the move after Diego Simeone demonstrated an eagerness to work with the Portuguese international.

After returning for a second spell with Atletico last summer, Griezmann scored eight goals and contributed seven assists for Simeone's side in the 2021-22 season.
