Barcelona: Bartomeu confirms meeting with Griezmann’s agent
- Jordan Russell (@JordRuss96)
The French internationalist has been linked with a switch to La Blaugrana for several years and it seems that a deal could finally be struck come the end of the season. Indeed, Bartomeu admitted to meeting with the former Real Sociedad star’s sister in a Barcelona restaurant last October to explore the possibility of adding him to Ernesto Valverde’s star-studded squad: “I happened to meet Griezmann on holiday last summer, but we just said hello to each other.”
Meanwhile, Bartomeu also confirmed that the club have not yet taken a decision on whether to activate their option to buy Grêmio midfielder Arthur, which is valid throughout the month of July.
