TOP STORY – BARCELONA TO OFFER GRIEZMANN TO PSG IN NEYMAR DEAL

Despite it proving such an ordeal to sign Griezmann in the first place, Barca will try to use him as a makeweight in a deal to land Neymar, according to Sky Sports . The report says the Spanish giant is prepared to let Griezmann go just one season after signing him from Atletico Madrid, as it reportedly also targets Inter forward Lautaro Martinez.
