Despite the latest declarations from Atletico Madrid striker Antoine Griezmann stating he has no intention to leave the club with even his sister voicing her opinion on the matter, speculation is rife as to who could replace the French player should he leave the "Rojiblancos" this summer.

Italian sports daily TuttoSport maintain that Argentina and Juventus striker Paulo Dybala is the candidate to fill the French player's boots in Madrid citing the good relationship between the player and Atleti boss Diego Simeone and the high opinion "Cholo" holds in the Argentine international.
