Al-Nassr reportedly met with Antoine Griezmann's representative to discuss a possible transfer.

Saudi Professional League side Al-Nassr are reportedly interested in Atletico Madrid's Antoine Griezmann and are weighing up a possible move. 

The French star made his return from Barcelona to the Madrid-based side permanent last January, and according to reports, he has a release clause as low as €25 million, which sparked speculation about his future.

As Pulse Sports reported earlier, the player has come out to put the Rojiblancos fans' minds at rest, stating that he has no plans of leaving the club. However, a recent report by GFFN suggests the Faris Najd might tempt his resolve.  

What happened 

According to the report, Al-Nassr are seriously considering the move and have even met with the player's representatives in London to try to convince him. 

This is in line with the recent strategy of acquiring top European talents by the Saudi clubs after their 'privatisation.'

Griezmann is certainly one of such top talents and is arguably the best outfield player in LALIGA for the 2022/23 season, scoring 15 goals and assisting 16 times on both sides of an impressive World Cup performance.
