# Mourinho not giving up hope of Griezmann deal

Jose Mourinho is reportedly not ready to give up hope on landing Atletico Madrid’s star man, Antoine Griezmann according to [Fichajes](https://www.fichajes.net/noticias/mourinho-insiste-colchonero-20151021.html).

Chelsea boss, Mourinho is thought to be a huge admirer of Griezmann and is hoping that Roman Abramovich can sanction a deal to land the attacker.

Any possible deal is thought to break through the club’s record transfer of £50m that they spent on Fernando Torres, now Griezmann’s team-mate in Spain.

The Frenchman scored an impressive 25 goals in his first season at Atletico after joining from Real Sociedad for £24m. Griezmann has already scored six goals this season in all competitions. Should the 24-year-old make the move to Stamford Bridge in January, he would be cup-tied in the Champions League.

Reports are suggesting that he could be seen as a replacement for Eden Hazard, who is [reportedly](https://www.rtl.be/sport/football/football-etranger/l-equipe-lache-une-bombe-hazard-va-quitter-cheslea-pour-le-real--764178.aspx) unhappy at the club, amid speculation linking him with a move to Real Madrid.
