Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo once again swatted all the rumours about their star player Antoine Griezmann moving to Manchester United, reports Goal.com.
The French striker has been Manchester United's target for the summer. Old Trafford team is ready to offer £65 million to get the player to play for them.
But according to Cerezo, Griezmann prefers the 'Atletico life.' "Every time I see Antoine I give him a hug. Antoine is a fantastic player and loves life at Atletico," Cerezo told COPE.
"I don't know what Manchester United's interest is. But Griezmann will be at Atletico for a long time," he added.
Griezmann has a contract with the Spanish club until 2021 which has a £85 million release clause to ward off the advancement from other clubs.
But Greizmann's image adviser Sebastien Bellencontre differs from what Cerezo has to say. According to the report by Goal.com, Bellencontre thinks the move to Manchester United will be good for marketing Griezmann. He would be playing for the same team as his idol David Beckham played for.
This means to suspense over Griezmann's move continues.
