Antoine Griezmann could be key to Barcelona signing Inter striker Lautaro Martinez according to a report in today’s print edition of Italian daily newspaper La Repubblica.
The Frenchman earns €18 million a year and has a high value against Barcelona’s books having signed for €120 million last Summer but the two clubs could find a way to come to an agreement.
Barcelona could offer Griezmann as part of a deal for Lautaro and Inter could take the former Atletico Madrid player on loan for one or maybe two seasons. An intermediary is in fact already working on a solution.
Griezmann’s spell with the Blaugrana club has went far from expected and the player’s relations with manager Quique Setien are far from great, especially after youngster Riqui Puig was preferred to start over him in the recent match with Atletico Madrid.
This season Griezmann has made 43 appearances across all competitions to date, in which he has scored 14 goals and provided four assists for his teammates.
