Following last year's World Cup triumphs and his success with Atletico Madrid, Antoine Griezmann has become a household name. The Frenchman is one of the best forwards in the world with an astounding workrate, accurate finishing, and wonderful technique. He is also very versatile, with a rare ability to play as a striker, winger, or even midfielder if needed.

He enjoyed continued success last season having scored 21 goals, the most out of any Atletico player. In his five international appearances this season, he has been excellent, scoring three and assisting four goals.

With a player of this quality, it is no wonder that Barcelona are interested in the player once again, even after last year's transfer drama which ended in him staying at Madrid. However, a transfer is extremely likely this summer as Atletico CEO Gil Marin confirmed Griezmann's departure from Atletico and Barcelona's active interest in the player.

If this is true, then Barcelona will likely need to fetch his €120 million release clause for his services. The Catalan club may look to Griezmann as a replacement for current striker Luis Suarez who turns 33 next year.
