Barcelona and Atletico Madrid in multi-player swap talks for Griezmann

Barcelona are open to a multi-player swap for Antoine Griezmann with Atletico Madrid.

Barca are ready to sell Griezmann this summer as they seek to ease their debt problems and secure Lionel Messi to a new contract.

Griezmann is willing to leave and has priorities a return to Atletico.

Atletico are keen and prepared to send Saul Niguez in the opposite direction. Like Griezmann, Saul is also happy with such a move.

However, Barca are insisting on a cash component being added to Atletico's proposal. The LaLiga champions accept Griezmann's superior valuation, but rather than cash, are willing to put Renan Lodi or Mario Hermoso on the table as part of the exchange, reports Cataluyna Radio.
