Barcelona news: Antoine Griezmann transfer moves closer after revelation in Spanish press

ANTOINE GRIEZMANN is already looking for somewhere to live in Barcelona ahead of a summer transfer, according to reports in Spain.

Griezmann is Barcelona’s top target for the summer after the capture of Philippe Coutinho in January.

And the La Liga leaders are expected to launch a bid for the France ace when the season finishes.

Spanish outlet Don Balon claim the move is 90% done and he is already looking for places to live in the city.

Barca will pay Griezmann’s £88m release clause and are expected to beat Manchester United and Real Madrid to his signature.

United had been expected to sign Griezmann in the summer before the signing of Romelu Lukaku.

And Alexis Sanchez’s arrival at Old Trafford means Jose Mourinho no longer wants any new forwards in the coming summer.

“The objective is that now we have more number nines,” he said.

“We have Alexis, we have (Romelu) Lukaku, we have (Anthony) Martial, we have (Marcus) Rashford.

“I don’t want attacking players, so don’t speak about attacking players that are coming here, because nobody is coming here.”



Real Madrid meanwhile are focussing on the signing of Neymar as they look to overhaul their attack.
