Antoine Griezmann has been linked to a move away from Atletico Madrid after a hugely successful first season with the club in which he scored 22 goals in La Liga. Chelsea has been the club considered most likely to land Griezmann.

Griezmann reportedly has a €65 million buyout clause in his contract.

Jose Mourinho was quick to distance his club from a bid for the player as he spoke to reporters on Chelsea's end-of-season tour of Australia.

"Griezmann is a great striker but is not within our objectives to strengthen the squad for next season. We are not interested," Mourinho is quoted in the Evening Standard.
