According to a recent development, Barcelona wants to negotiate a deal with Atletico Madrid over the sale of Antoine Griezmann before the start of the FIFA World Cup, according to the sources. Although Griezmann has a contract with Barcelona through 2024 and is now on loan at Atletico until 2023, it is clear that the Catalan club does not want him to return to Camp Nou in 2019.

The main reason MD dubbed Griezmann’s return to Barcelona “painful” is that the team is already trying to lower the bill.
