Barcelona preparing Antoine Griezmann swoop?

Barcelona are reportedly preparing to reignite their interest in Antoine Griezmann.

The Spanish champions were strongly linked with a move for the attacker in last summer's transfer window, but the France international ultimately signed a new long-term contract with Atletico Madrid.

Griezmann will see his £173m release clause drop to £104m at the start of July, though, and according to Marca, Barca are preparing a swoop for the 28-year-old.

The attacker has found the back of the net on 21 occasions in 46 appearances for Atletico this term, in addition to contributing 10 assists.

Barca are expected to be active in this summer's transfer window after their Champions League disappointment, and could sell Philippe Coutinho to fund a move for Griezmann.
