Griezmann switch to Barca could be back on

-

Barcelona are set to make another attempt to sign Antoine Griezmann from Atletico Madrid, after the France internatio­nal rejected a move to the Catalan club last year. Several reports in the Spanish media say that Barca are keen to fund the deal by selling Brazilian midfelder Philippe Coutinho this summer. Griezmann, 28, signed a new contract with Atletico until 2023 and has a release clause of €120 million (Dh494m). Atletico have already agreed to sell France defender Lucas Hernandez to Bayern Munich for €80m, while long-serving captain Diego Godin has announced he is leaving at the end of the season.
