Griezmann in Neymar contact to assure him of Barcelona return

Antoine Griezmann has no plans to step away should Barcelona manage to bring Neymar back from PSG.

It's been claimed Griezmann, after arriving from Atletico Madrid just last summer, would push to quit Barca should Neymar be signed.

However, Mundo Deportivo says the opposite case is true, with the Frenchman making it known to Neymar that he'd welcome him to the Barca locker room and would be eager to play with the Brazil captain.

The pair are in regular contact on social media and also share a mutual friendship with former Atletico fullback Filipe Luis, now of Flamengo.

And from Griezmann's end, all the messages to Neymar have been positive - assuring the PSG star he would be very welcome should Barca reach terms with the French giants.
