Barcelona board and players split on Griezmann arrival

Barcelona's dressing room remain to be convinced by the arrival of Antoine Griezmann.

The Atletico Madrid attacker has announced he will leave this summer, with Barca favourites to land him by meeting Griezmann's €120m buyout clause.

However, L'Equipe says several Barca players are unconvinced by the France international.

Griezmann's rejection last summer - via a Gerard Pique produced documentary - has left many inside the Barca dressing room unimpressed. Jordi Alba and Luis Suarez are two players named who are against Griezmann's arrival.

However, Barca's directors remain keen to sign the Frenchman and will aim to talk around those players upset with the move.
