The close relationship between Inter defender Diego Godin and Barcelona’s Antoine Griezmann could well help Inter to acquire the Frenchman according to a report in today’s print edition of Gazzetta dello Sport.
The duo spent several years together on the books at Spanish giants Atletico Madrid and have such a close relationship that Godin is in fact Griezmann’s daughter Mia’s godfather.
The report goes on to claim that Inter could well try and get Godin to convince his close friend into joining the club in the coming months.
Reports in the media have suggested that Inter have an interest in signing 2018 World Cup winner Griezmann but his annual €17 million salary poses a huge obstacle to any deal being done.
This season Griezmann has made 37 appearances across all competitions for the Blaugrana club, who he is under contract with until end of the 2023/24 season. In almost 3000 minutes on the park, he has scored 14 goals and provided four assists.
