Barcelona's 'Galactico' plan

Both names have been consistently linked with a move to the Nou Camp, but neither transfer came to fruition in this summer's transfer market.

Barcelona will start with a January offer for Griezmann, and they expect this move to go a lot smoother than their attempts to sign Coutinho in August.

The Atletico forward’s release clause dropped to €100m following the close of the summer window, which is a very affordable price for the Catalans. They will, however, face tough competition from various top European clubs, including Manchester United.

If they convince Griezmann to join them in the new year, the club will turn their attention back to Coutinho.

The Brazilian handed in a transfer request at Liverpool following huge summer bids from Barcelona, but Jurgen Klopp refused to sell, and the pair's relationship hasn't been the same since.

Klopp does not seem to trust the playmaker and has already admitted he would be open to a possible sale in the near future. Coutinho is not happy at Anfield and is determined to complete a dream move to the current La Liga leaders.

Two difficult, but not impossible targets that Barcelona hope will fill the void left by Neymar in the summer.
