Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak has fuelled further speculation over the future of Antoine Griezmann, admitting 'nobody knows' where he will be next season.

The French striker has been heavily linked with a move away, with both Barcelona and Manchester United keen on signing him.

Griezmann endured a barren spell mid-season but now has four goals in his last five, ahead of the January transfer window.

This week, Atletico keeper Oblak was questioned about his team-mate, noting: 'In the future with Griezmann, nobody knows.

'For now, he is totally committed to us and we see this in matches and training, he is a huge part of this team.

'We want to be fighting for the title at the end of the season and right now we are taking things one game at a time but we are in a much stronger position now than a month ago.' 

Atletico sit second in the La Liga table after four straight victories, with only the in-form Barcelona ahead of them.

Local rivals Real Madrid are five points behind, and much of Atletico's good form has been down to their impressive goalkeeper Oblak.

His comments on Griezmann were to journalists at an awards ceremony, where he had just picked up Marca's 'Goalkeeper of the 2016-17 season' award.

So far this term, he already has 10 clean sheets in 16 games, the joint-most in the division alongside Barcelona's Marc-Andre Ter Stegen.
