Break out the cotton wool.
Antoine Grizemann is one of the most in-form footballers in Europe and this summer he will have a price tag to match for any possible suitors.
The France international is likely to be his country’s key attacker at this summer’s European Championships, and he also has a Champions League semi-final to look forward to in the coming weeks.
Atletico Madrid are desperate to hang on to the player, but with Chelsea and Manchester United sniffing around, it seems the player himself is hoping to stay in Spain.
The Daily Mail claims that the forward, who has bagged 30 goals already this season, is concerned that he may be too slight to adapt to the hefty physical demands of the Premier League.
The Frenchman is not made of glass by any means, but with no winter break in England, and games played a higher pace than most La Liga encounters, the striker is worried his body may take too long to adapt or could breakdown.
The 25-year-year old is not going to left leave Spain without a fight and while it is believed he is interested in a move to England, the chances of him appearing in next season’s Premier League look slim at present.
Atletico are likely to demand a record fee for the 25-year-old, with his release clause estimated to be around £80million.
