REAL MADRID - ATLETICO DE MADRID TRANSFER RUMOURS

What was Cezary Kucharski the representative of Bayern Munich & Polish International Striker Lewandowski doing at the Real Madrid - Getafe match last Saturday? According to Spanish Sports press, the player representative was invited personally by Real Madrid President Florentino Perez, & the talk is, to discuss his client Lewandowski. 

The player has contract with Bayern Munich until 2019 & the Germans wish to extended the contract while raising his salary to around 10€ per season. The player has rejected the first offer & it seems that Real Madrid may be fishing in rough waters.

Still too early to say much more, Real Madrid made an attempt when Lewandowski was finishing contract at Dortmund, while the representative could be playing his cards with both Clubs.

Meanwhile the other rumour is that English Premier League Club Chelsea FC is willing to offer 50 M€ to Atletico de Madrid for French International Antoine Griezmann.

Appears Mourinho wants Diego Costa out & could offer money & a return back to Spain for Costa. This news piece is still to be confirmed & a definite rumour at this stage. Griezmann has many more big Clubs following him, & can basically choose if he decides to make a move from Atletico de Madrid.

ATLETICO DE MADRID TARGETS GRIEZMANN OF REAL SOCIEDAD

Last time we mentioned French International & Real Sociedad forward Antoine Griezmann here we speculated that he could end up next season at Paris St Germain or Monaco.  I made the observation that Griezmann would be the perfect player Atletico de Madrid are looking for to fill the gap left open by David Villa.

Today Spanish Sports daily "AS" published that Atletico de Madrid has focused on young Griezmann & is attempting the signing. Initially Real Sociedad directed Atletico to the contract release clause figure of 30M€, however it seems the Real Sociedad position may have soften & talks are under way with a figure of 25M€ now in place.

The French player wishes to stay in Spain to play his Football & the Atletico de Madrid option is ideal. Real Sociedad will obviously fight hard to keep their talented forward but at least there are negotiations & this is positive news for Atletico de Madrid.

Stay tuned!

TOTTEMHAM HOTSPURS LOOKS AT GRIEZMANN OF REAL SOCIEDAD

Spanish Football Club Real Sociedad & French International player Antoine Griezmann is without doubt a superb player with just 23 years of age. The "youngster" is on the verge of exploding on the World Soccer scene & he may just need to make the jump to a more "resourceful" Club.

English Premier League Club Tottenham Hotspurs is showing some serious interest. According to local press the Club is thinking about putting up the 30M€ contract release clause (buy-out) in order to do with the services of the Frenchman. 

Tottenham Hotspurs will need however the OK from the player & they are working with their French goalkeeper Lloris (French National Team-mate) to see if he can help convince the Real Sociedad player to say yes to the English Club.

Said this, I have the sensation that Griezmann knows well his potential & may be waiting for a "better" offer from bigger Clubs. It is no secret that Atletico de Madrid has been eyeing the player, while Real Madrid has been also following Griezmann & could be thinking about him to replace Morata who has gone to Juventus FC. Added to all this is the interest from other major European Clubs in Italy, France & England.

Stay tuned!

SPANISH FOOTBALL - LIGA - ROUND 21 MONDAY GAME RESULT

Spanish Football tonight with the last game of Round 21 Liga played. Real Sociedad comfortably defeated Elche 4 - 0 & gets closer to Villarreal on the Spanish League classification table just 1 point away currently in 6th spot. The objective of Real Sociedad is very clear, to get into the European positions. Its a different story with Elche which is low in the classification table & touching the relegation zone.

The goals came in the following order & times:

• Damien ( own goal ) from a Griezmann chip 2nd min , 1 - 0
• Griezmann 12th min , 2 - 0
• Carlos Vela 50th min, 3 - 0
• Griezmann 74th min, 4 - 0

The highlight tonight was Real Sociedad French young 22 year old forward Antoine Griezmann. He has evolved enormously in Spanish Football over the past year. This season the Frenchman is at a top class level & if he continues this way he is heading direct to World Soccer Stardom. His "rebellious" attitude has cost him a place in the French National Team but I think that Coach Deschamps will have to reconsider him for the upcoming World Cup in Brazil. Not to do so will be a serious mistake.

I don´t see how Real Sociedad can hold this "gem" of a player much longer as he is the target of most of the big European Football Clubs. Griezmann is definitely one of my favourite players & I predict a huge future ahead for the youngster if injury stays away & he can keep his head focused.  Superb exhibition tonight from Antoine.
