Barcelona defender Samuel Umtiti suggests that he often speaks to Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann about life at Camp Nou.

Barcelona defender Samuel Umtiti has revealed that he has spoken to Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann regarding life at Camp Nou.

Griezmann has been strongly linked with a future transfer to Barcelona, with the French international said to have agreed terms with the Catalan giants should Atletico agree to sell him during the summer.

Umtiti has admitted that he took the opportunity to talk to his compatriot when the pair were on international duty last month, but insists that all players "dream" of a move to the Spanish club.

The 24-year-old told Canal+: "I got myself into agent mode. No, I'm kidding. It's true that we talk about it a lot. I was able to talk about it with him, but just to find out what he thinks of my club.

"But everyone thinks good things about it. It makes them dream. Players of that level. If he comes, we'd have to play with six forwards."

Griezmann still has over four years left on his contract, but Atletico boss Diego Simeone has previously hinted that he would not stand in the way of any player who wants to leave the Wanda Metropolitano.
