ATLETICO MADRID have reportedly convinced Antoine Griezmann to stay at the club next season - dealing a major blow to Jose Mourinho's transfer plans.

Griezmann is understood to be Jose Mourinho's No 1 transfer target for the summer as the Manchester United boss aims to strengthen his squad.
It was claimed last month that the 25-year-old had already agreed personal terms with United, which would see him paid as much as compatriot Paul Pogba.
As a result of Griezmann's inclination to stay at Atletico, United have set their sight on other targets including Kylian Mbappe and Robert Lewandowski.
Atletico manager Diego Simeone's decision to stay at the club next season despite interest from Inter Milan has also added to Gr
iezmann's intention to remain at the Vicente Calerdon.
Last month, Griezmann revealed he has 'many doubts' about a move to England saying: "England, there are many doubts about my private life. There is rain, bad weather... I need to be happy outside."
The report says that Griezmann is keen for the club to make signings in the summer.
But they are currently banned from buying players by FIFA are breaching rules over the transfer of foreign players under 18.
Atletico have appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport along with rivals Real who were also banned.
