Manchester City will attempt to sign Atletico Madrid’s Antoine Griezmann this summer if they fail to prise Harry Kane away from Tottenham, say reports.
The England captain is understood to be the Etihad club’s top target as they look for a successor to Sergio Aguero, who joined Barcelona after his contract expired.
Pep Guardiola is a fan of the France international, and Barca’s dire financial situation means they could be tempted to cash in on the striker.
City’s pursuit of Kane will fill newspaper inches for some time yet, with little progress likely to be made until he is finished with England duty at Euro 2020.
The unwillingness of Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy to sell his best player to a Premier League rival is well documented, so it’s no surprise to learn that City are considering other options.
The France international has spent his entire career in Spain and isn’t coming off his best season, scoring 13 La Liga goals in 36 appearances last term.
He surely won’t be cheap, either, with another three years left to run on his Camp Nou deal, making a potential swap deal an interesting prospect.
