Antoine Griezmann is seen as one of the biggest talents in Europe and is reportedly Juventus' top transfer target this summer, amid strong links of a move to Barcelona.

According to 'Corriere dello Sport', Juventus have set their sights on Atletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann as their first choice summer transfer target.

Juve reportedly want to ease the pressure on Paulo Dybala and Gonzalo Higuain by ramping up their options in the attacking positions.

Griezmann is already tipped to leave Madrid at the end of this season, and has attracted the interest of several top-tier clubs, most notably Barcelona who are seeking to secure his signature.

Mourinho's Manchester United also sought out the France international, but Griezmann reportedly snubbed a move to the Premier League.

For now, his focus will be on the Europa League quarter-finals where Atletico will face Sporting Lisbon on Thursday for the second-leg.
