Barcelona planning to swap Antoine Griezmann for Saul Niguez?

Antoine Griezmann’s future at Barcelona appears uncertain due to the club’s ongoing financial problems, and the latest update suggests Barca are thinking about a swap deal with Atletico Madrid.

Mundo Deportivo report that Griezmann could return to the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium this summer with midfielder Saul Niguez heading in the opposite direction. The midfielder is expected to leave Atletico but it’s not clear where he’ll end up.

Liverpool are apparently interested in Saul and have made an offer of €40 million which Atletico think is insufficient. A higher bid is needed for a player under contract until 2026 and with a release clause set at €150m.
