A report claims that Atletico Madrid are tempted to sell Antoine Griezmann to fund a move for in-demand Benfica forward Joao Felix.

Atletico Madrid are reportedly ready to sell Antoine Griezmann to Barcelona if it enhances their chances of signing Joao Felix from Benfica.

The Portugal Under-21s international has enjoyed a breakthrough campaign to remember at the Estadio da Luz thanks to a combined 24 goals and assists in the Portuguese top flight and Europa League.

Felix maintained his impressive form with two more goals and an assist in Monday's 6-0 win over Maritimo, showing just why so many of European football's biggest names have been tipped to move for the youngster.

According to reports in Portugal, Atletico are realistic candidates to sign the 19-year-old as they can afford to trigger his £104m release clause through the sale of Griezmann.

Barca are known to be after the French World Cup winner, who has a release clause of £200m, while Bayern Munich may also be tempted to make an approach at the end of the season.
