Iniesta: Griezmann to Barça 'a great move'
Andres Iniesta would be very happy to see Antoine Griezmann join Barcelona.
The Catalan club has been repeatedly linked to the French star, whose transfer clause will halve to €100 million this summer, something the Culés can afford after June.
The Atletico Madrid hitman has regained his scoring streak after a slow start, netting 27 times in all competitions for Atletico, who have reached the Europa League final thanks to his efforts.
The 27-year-old received a rousing endorsement from Iniesta, who recently left Barcelona after 22 years at the club.
“Griezmann is one of the best attackers in the world and I don’t know what will happen in the future,” the 34-year-old told Marca.
“He’s an Atletico Madrid player, so there’s no point in going further. But if he were to join, it’d be a great transfer.”
Barcelona’s approaches have already earned them a rebuke from Atletico CEO Gil Marin, who said that the Colchoneros had “had enough” of this courtship.
