Antoine Griezmann will join Barcelona on two conditions

Antoine Griezmann is open to a Barca move

The humiliating loss at the hands of Liverpool in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-final tie has now forced the Catalan giants to reconsider their plans for the summer. Having realized the lack of consistency in the forward line, Barcelona have brought Antoine Griezmann back to their agenda and it looks like the Frenchman is willing to join.

However, the move could hit a stumbling block should La Blaugrana don't concede the World Cup winner's demands. Griezmann has two conditions. First of all, he wants to be a regular starter in Ernesto Valverde's side. Secondly, Griezmann wants wage parity with Luis Suarez given that he's younger and could go on to be more important to the club than the Uruguayan.

Lionel Messi believes that Griezmann can be a hit at Barcelona and is of the opinion that the Camp Nou will take to him in due time.
