Juventus exploring deal for Barcelona-owned striker Griezmann

Juventus are exploring the prospect of signing Antoine Griezmann in January.

La Gazzetta dello Sport says the French forward is spending his second year on loan at Atletico Madrid, who will have to pay Barcelona 40 million euros if they want to buy him.

Juventus are alert to the situation and if Atletico don't play him enough to activate the obligatory buy clause then they may pounce.

The Italian club, in a results crisis, are thinking about incomings, and Griezmann is a target although he would have to reduce his salary.

His deal with Barcelona expires in 2024 and next summer the Old Lady might pressure Barcelona in to selling him to them for a lesser fee than the 40m.
