Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman can't guarantee Antoine Griezmann will start the season with the Blaugrana.

There's been speculation Griezmann will be sold to help fund a new contract for Lionel Messi.

Asked about Griezmann, Koeman said: "I'm going to rely on all of the players in my squad. If there are any incomings or outgoings, I'll need to accept them. These are decisions that need to be made by the club. There's lots of time left, let's see who stays and who goes. But it's clear that Messi's renewal is the absolute priority."

Koeman made it clear that Griezmann has performed well for him and that, under normal conditions, he would stay at the club.

"Griezmann is very important for me. He's been a great signing for Barcelna and has shown his quality. He's performed well and is a very good player. But I insist, I don't know which decisions will be made. The most important thing is for Leo to sign a new contract. He is the future of the club, and we need to try everything to get him to sign," he said.
