Barcelona are reportedly open to negotiating a swap deal involving Antoine Griezmann and Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez.

Barcelona are reportedly open to negotiating a transfer involving Antoine Griezmann and Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez.

At a time when they need to reduce their wage bill in order to accommodate Lionel Messi, Barcelona are prepared to be creative in the transfer market.

While some big-earners have been offered free transfers or put up for sale at reduced prices, officials at the Catalan giants need to find better value for money for Griezmann.

According to Football Espana, Barcelona are prepared to allow the France international to rejoin his former club if it means making progress on a financial front.

The report claims that the two La Liga giants could discuss a proposal which would see Saul move in the opposite direction now that he is no longer first choice at Wanda Metropolitano.

Griezmann, who is also said to be a target for Manchester City, has previously insisted that he wants to see out the final three years of his contract with Barcelona.
