Griezmann in limbo as 'no one from Barca' has contacted Atletico over possible transfer

Antoine Griezmann's mooted move to Barcelona remains in doubt after Atletico Madrid's president claimed to have had no contact from the La Liga champions.

France forward Griezmann seemed destined for Camp Nou when he declared the 2018-19 season would be his last with Atletico.

Barca reportedly came close to signing the World Cup winner 12 months ago and were expected to make a fresh approach following their Champions League failure.

The Catalan club are now rumoured to have cooled their interest and Atletico president Enrique Cerezo admitted to being entirely unclear on his star player's next destination.
