Manchester City have made a move for Atletico Madrid attacker Antoine Griezmann.
The France international's future with Atletico remains clouded, with a move to Barcelona mooted for the end of this season.
However, Don Balon says negotiations have now stalled between Griezmann's camp and Barca - with claims that City are now in touch.
Barca are reluctant to meet the attacker's €100m buyout clause and this has led to Griezmann to considering other options.
City boss Pep Guardiola is a fan of Griezmann and sees him as an alternative to the Manchester United bound Alexis Sanchez.
