Antoine Griezmann's name is one that has come up on plenty of occasions as a potential solution to Barca's attacking problems and now, one of the Catalan club's stars has opened the door to a move for the Atletico Madrid man.
The French international is thought to be looking for a way out of the Wanda Metropolitano in the near future, with the contract that he signed in the summer including a €100m release clause.
Barca have been heavily linked with a move for the forward and in an interview with 'Diario Ara', defender Samuel Umtiti has gone on the record saying that he would love to see his compatriot make the move to the Camp Nou.
When asked about the 26-year-old's ability, Umtiti was quick to reply: "We've already seen what he's capable with for Atletico, he's a first-class player," he enthused.
The former Lyon man went on to say that he wouldn't hesitate to encourage Griezmann to join him at Barca. "If there was a chance of it happening, I would tell him not to hesitate... come to Barca," said Umtiti.
Despite an uncertain start to the season in front of goal, Griezmann is known to have been on Barca's shortlist for quite some time and it certainly seems that the players have given him thei approval.
