Barcelona have issued a statement denying that the club were interested in signing Atletico Madrid striker Antoine Griezmann.

According to Sport, the Spanish giants had agreed a deal with their La Liga counterparts to sign the French forward, but Barcelona have responded by posting a statement refuting the reports.

"FC Barcelona strongly denies the information that has appeared over the course of the last few hours in different media regarding Atletico Madrid player, Antoine Griezmann, and an alleged deal with our club," the statement read.

"FC Barcelona expresses its objections in the face of these events and reiterates its full respect for the institution of Atletico Madrid."

Any potential move for Griezmann would involve an activation of the £889m release clause currently in place in his deal at the Wanda Metropolitano.
