Atletico Madrid – Antoine Griezmann – Barcelona

RCD Espanyol v Club Atletico de Madrid - La Liga

Multiple reports suggest that Antoine Griezmann is looking to leave Atletico Madrid for Barcelona this season. The rumours have been going around ever since the Madrid side were knocked out of the Champions League.

There has been a huge update on this now and AS claim that the Madrid side are not willing to sell their star player. Diego Costa is reportedly on his way out and they are not willing to let go of another top player.

An ITK on Twitter, who has been very reliable for Spanish transfer news, has also reported the same.

#AtleticoMadrid are not willing to sell Antoine Griezmann to #Barcelona. The Catalan club are still looking to sign him and the forward is keen on moving too. #Barca will have to active the World Cup winner's release clause this summer in order to sign him.

Barcelona are looking to sign a long term replacement for Luis Suarez and believe Griezmann can do the job for the foreseeable future. However, they also have eyes set on Luka Jovic but face tough competition from Real Madrid for the striker.
