The Frenchman has recovered after a sticky start to the season to score eight goals in 22 appearances in all competitions for Diego Simeone's side. It brings his total tally to 91 from 182 games since joining the club from Real Sociedad in 2014.
It is these numbers that has attracted interest from Europe's top clubs, including Spain's heavyweight duo Real and Barca, in what appears to be a closely-contested battle for the striker's signature.
On Saturday, Catalan newspaper 'Sport' claimed that there has been an agreement finalised between the La Liga leaders and Griezmann which follows reports on Friday from 'Fox' which suggested that the Camp Nou were reserving the No. 7 shirt for his imminent arrival.
However, in 'Marca', they allege that "the situation has taken an unexpected turn" with the player choosing to reject Barcelona, allowing the possibility for Zinedine Zidane's team to steal him from their rivals clutches.
Madrid rivals Atletico won't let their star striker leave without a fight though. Having secured the return of fiesty Diego Costa to renew his electric partnership with the Frenchman, the board are allegedly willing to do everything it takes to keep the duo from dissolving once more.
One thing that is certain is the mystery surrouding the future of Griezmann, who finds himself in a 'Bermuda triangle', will most likely not be solved until summer...
