Le 10 Sport reports that Griezmann has decided to leave at the end of the season and the Blaugrana want a forward who can operate in multiple positions across their front line, particularly as a centre-forward.

Reports suggest that a clause will enable Barcelona to sign Griezmann for €100 million (£90m), which could represent a bargain when compared to the £198m Neymar cost PSG last summer.

Manchester United appeared to only have eyes for Griezmann last summer until Zlatan Ibrahimovic's injury forced Jose Mourinho to drop those plans and pursue a more physical striker in Romelu Lukaku.
