Pepe joyful to play waiting game for prospective new Real Madrid deal

ANTOINE GRIEZMANN's move to Manchester United is a formality, reports say, but what do the bookies think?

After the Madrid derby on Saturday, Real captain Sergio Ramos insisted that Griezmann, who scored the Rojiblancos' equaliser after Pepe had given Los Blancos the lead, would be welcome at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The news will be music to ears of Manchester United fans hoping Jose Mourinho can land the £68million-rated centre forward this summer.

He said: "I do not rule out anything in the future, but I'm happy at Atletico and hopefully I can stay here".

Griezmann himself has tried not to let the massive media interest in his future be a distraction, but did not rule out a controversial switch to Atletico's bitter rivals.

Until June 30 I am under contract at Real Madrid, isn't that right "presi" (signals to club president Florentino Perez).

'You never know what will happen in football but jumping from Atletico to Real, I do not think it is very feasible.

Real were the latest big hitters to be linked with Griezmann, but the France worldwide believes that move would be impossible given the rivalry between the clubs. We are happy to get these calls but for now, I am happy here and in a good mood. Now, French newspaper L'Equipe say that they have added Griezmann to the list of their targets.

Real Madrid players were understandably frustrated at dropping two points and conceding late on to their arch rivals.

The Madrid number three is now facing a spell out of the first-team after breaking two ribs in the weekend's draw and may even have played his final game for Los Blancos as a time frame for his return has yet to be established.
