Atletico Madrid Antoine Griezmann wants to join Barcelona and his representatives have already made contact, report El Mundo Deportivo.
The report outlines how Griezmann’s ‘proven quality and fixed price of €120m’ – relating to the forward’s release clause – is why the Blaugrana are interested in a deal.
Marca, by contrast, say the Catalan giants are not so keen on a deal for the 27-year-old having attempted to sign him last summer before the player decided upon staying at Atleti.
The former Real Sociedad star eventually signed a new long-term deal at the Wanda Metropolitano but fresh reports indicate he is now having regrets about staying in the Spanish capital.
The Frenchman does have a release clause in his new contract, that drops from €200m to €120m at the end of the current season, and that may tempt the current La Liga leaders to return with a second bid.
Griezmann has netted 18 goals this campaign for Diego Simeone’s side.
