La Liga champions Barcelona are lose to finalising a deal for Atletico Madrid striker Antoine Griezmann.
According to Sport reporter Albert Roge, Barca representatives met with the French star’s sister and a five-year contract is a distinct possibility.
The Spanish giants will have to trigger Griezmann’s €100m buy-out clause for the move to take place, of which €20m will go to Real Sociedad for their part in developing the player.
The 27-year-old has recently said that his future will be decided before the 2018 World Cup finals in Russia.
If Griezmann’s own deadline is to be taken seriously, things will have to escalate quickly in the coming weeks for the move to take place.
