Antoine Griezmann turned down PSG to stay at Atletico Madrid - agent

  Antoine Griezmann's agent has revealed that the France forward considered offers from Paris Saint-Germain and other clubs before deciding to stay at Atletico Madrid for at least another season.

Griezmann, 25, signed a new contract with Atletico last month after helping them reach the Champions League final for the second time in three years.

The former Real Sociedad player will have won even more admirers after being named player of the tournament at Euro 2016 and winning the Golden Boot with six goals for beaten finalists France.

Sources told ESPN FC last month that Manchester United were also monitoring the player.

Speaking on RMC on Tuesday, Griezmann's advisor Eric Olhats confirmed that he had been in contact with PSG sporting director Olivier Letang in recent months.

The France star's sporting advisor, Eric Olhats, has revealed the forward entered negotiations with the Ligue 1 giants but opted to extend his stay in La Liga instead.

Antoine Griezmann held talks with Paris Saint-Germain before eventually signing a new deal with Atletico Madrid, the forward's sporting advisor Eric Olhats has claimed.

The France star was heavily linked with a move away from Atletico ahead of Euro 2016, with Chelsea, Manchester United and PSG believed to be among his admirers.

 Griezmann instead opted to stay at Atletico, but PSG apparently did make a move for the 25-year-old before he made a final decision on his future, according to one of his representatives.

"There were talks with [PSG sporting director] Olivier Letang," Olhats told RMC .

"Paris Saint-Germain were interested in signing him. We listened to what they had to say because PSG are a club with an interesting project.

"We eventually opted for continuity with Atletico after those talks and weighing up the various offers. But you never know what happens in the future."

Griezmann has also been linked with Barcelona and Real Madrid, but Olhats believes switching from one La Liga club to another was never an option.

"Would it have been a wise decision to move to a club where he could potentially win more titles? Barcelona and Real Madrid don't need anyone in attack at the moment..," Olhats added.

Griezmann enjoyed a sublime Euro 2016 campaign, scoring six goals in seven appearances to lead France to the final, where they eventually lost 2-0 against Portugal

Antoine Griezmann fires France into final with Portugal.

   Hosts France advanced to the Euro 2016 final with their first victory over Germany in a major tournament since 1958 on a night of high emotion in Marseille.

Antoine Griezmann, the tournament's top scorer, made the decisive contributions in each half to set up a final against Portugal at the Stade de France on Sunday.

Griezmann scored from the penalty spot right on half-time when Germany's Bastian Schweinsteiger was penalised for handball by Italian referee Nicola Rizzoli in an aerial challenge with Patrice Evra.

France held out against German pressure before Griezmann settled the destination of a pulsating semi-final with 18 minutes left when he turned in from close range after keeper Manuel Neuer could only half-clear Paul Pogba's cross.

Joshua Kimmich then hit the woodwork for Germany and also saw a header brilliantly saved by France keeper Hugo Lloris - but there was no way back for the World Cup holders.

France made a slow start to Euro 2016 but there was a real sense inside Marseille's vast Stade Velodrome that Didier Deschamps' team are now being carried towards the finishing line in Paris on Sunday by a national tide of emotion.

It was, of course, during a friendly between France and Germany at the Stade de France, which will stage Sunday's Euro 2016 final, that the first explosions were heard on the night of the Paris attacks in November in which 130 people died and hundreds of others were wounded. Fourteen players who started that night were in the line-ups that took to the field here in Marseille.

The atmosphere inside the Stade Velodrome was electric after a day of searing temperatures and the togetherness now felt between France's players and their supporters was summed up in one moment in the second half.

Germany were applying pressure in an attempt to claw back a 1-0 deficit when the whole ground erupted into a rousing chorus of national anthem La Marseillaise to urge their team on.

One more task remains against Portugal on Sunday - the whole of France expects.
