Manchester United have reportedly been proposed Barcelona forward Antoine Griezmann in a shocking swap deal involving Victor Lindelof.
The Catalan giants are interested in lessening their huge wage bill and see removing Griezmann as an easy way to do that.
He had been related with a return to Atletico Madrid, who he left in 2019, in a swap deal involving Saul Niguez.
But Gol Digital has reported that doesn’t look likely and Barcelona have turned their attention to United and Lindelof.
United have tied down Edinson Cavani for another year, but it is believed they’d like another forward.
Lindelof regularly started at the back with captain Harry Maguire last season as United finished second in the Premier League.
The Sweden international has been a regular since arriving at Old Trafford from Benfica in 2017.
But the club confirmed a deal in principle for Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane, possibly meaning Lindelof will fall down the pecking order.
Griezmann’s exit would allow Barcelona to register club legend Lionel Messi, who is technically a free agent right now.
The World Cup winner has scored 20 goals in all competitions so far but hasn’t fully settled since his £100 million move.
