Antoine Griezmann’s agent has cast doubt on the forward’s future at Atletico Madrid despite the player himself announcing that he is happy in the Spanish capital, with Griezmann’s apparently considering a number of offers from “clubs who offer real interest and attraction”.

Griezmann is a reported transfer target for Chelsea after starring for Atletico in their run to the Champions League final, but the France international appeared to be committed to the Spanish club after it was leaked that he had no intention of leaving during the upcoming transfer window.

But his agent, Eric Olhats, has suggested that a summer move could still be on the cards after revealing that a number of clubs are interested in the 25-year-old and have made appealing offers to Griezmann should he wish to leave Atletico.

Speaking to French newspaper L’Equipe, Olhats said: “Contrary to certain claims announcing that Antoine at Atletico next season will be the case without fail, nothing has been decided or endorsed.

“We are currently listening to different clubs who also offer real interest and attraction.”

Griezmann has caught the eye during his two years with Atletico, having completed a £24m move from Real Sociedad in 2014. Having scored the goal that knocked Bayern Munich out of the Champions League during their semi-final encounter, the Frenchman has demonstrated his ability to star on the biggest stage, and he could further enhance his reputation at Euro 2016 with the tournament taking place on home soil.

However, despite Olhats comments, Atletico president Enrique Cerezo has stressed that the striker, who has scored 32 goals in all competitions this season. Speaking to French radio station RMC, Cerezo said: "Antoine Griezmann is an Atletico Madrid player. He also has a long-term contract with the club. I don't want him to leave."

Cerezo also suggested that Griezmann’s release clause would not prove a problem given he described the fee as “unpayable”, adding: "I don't remember [how much], but it's very high. It's in line with the value of the player."
