Antoine Griezmann has underperformed at FC Barcelona since the club bought the Frenchman at Atletico Madrid in the summer of 2019. Several describe it as a flop purchase. Today it has emerged that the Spanish capital club in this summer's transfer window tried to bring the French offensive player back.

According to Spanish media Cadena SER, Atletico Madrid proposed a swap deal that would send Alvaro Morata, Thomas Lemar and Mario Hermoso to Barcelona, ​​while Griezmann would smoke the other way. It flatly rejected 'Blaugrana' with a statement that Griezmann is not for sale.

According to the Spanish media Sport, the good relationship between the Frenchman and the Atletico coach, Diego Simeone, should be one of the reasons for the interest in bringing him back. In Barca, it has been 17 goals in 58 games for the French offensive player. Just two of the goals have fallen this season. He played for Atletico Madrid from 2014 to 2019.
