Barcelona are open to offers for striker Antoine Griezmann this summer.

The Frenchman joined the Catalans from rivals Atletico Madrid in 2019 and after initially struggling at the Camp Nou, Griezmann has rediscovered some of his best form this term under Ronald Koeman.

The club are happy with the 30-year-old’s performances but Barcelona are close to £1billion in debt and cannot strengthen the team this summer without first raising money through player sales.

Griezmann is considered one of the sides most valuable assets and the France international would have plenty of suitors – particularly in England – if Barcelona put him on the open market.

While that is not quite the club’s plan, Marca claim Barcelona are open to offers and could be enticed into selling.

The Catalans are desperately trying to convince Lionel Messi to sign a new deal at the club, with his current one set to expire at the end of the season.

Paris Saint-Germain remain keen on the Argentine and it could transpire that Griezmann’s vest chances of staying at the Camp Nou next season is if Messi does decide to leave.

Barcelona have held extensive talks with Sergio Aguero’s representatives and they’re confident of signing the Manchester City star on a two-year deal when his contact expires at the end of the season.
