Barcelona are regretting what they did with Luis Suarez and David Villa in the past. Griezmann will not go back to Atletico Madrid in exchange for Saul.

Antoine Griezmann's future does not lie at Atletico Madrid. 'Sport' denies that Griezmann and Saul will swap clubs, as 'Mundo Deportivo' had reported and said that Barca would rather Griezmann went to the Premier League or Serie A. 

According to the Catalan media outlet, Barca do not want to make the same mistake as they did with David Villa and Luis Suarez. Griezmann will not return for a good price for Atletico Madrid just two years after a multi-million euro move to Atletico Madrid

Bearing in mind the Frenchman's large salary, Barcelona are looking to find a team who can pay for him or at least help to pay for him over the coming years as they did with other players in the past. 

It will be terrible business for them, but it looks like it will happen as the club need to sell players to be able to renew Lionel Messi. 

According to 'La Vanguardia', Griezmann, who has seen that he is not the star player he was at Atletico, is open to a move away to a big club.

The French striker has played 99 matches for Barcelona and scored 34 goals as well as get 16 assists. Numbers which are not bad, but they are far away from what Barca were expecting when they signed him.
