Tottenham Hotspur are offered the chance to sign Barcelona attacker Antoine Griezmann, according to a report.

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly been offered the chance to sign Barcelona attacker Antoine Griezmann.

The Blaugrana are under pressure to offload some of their biggest earners this summer and must reportedly shift £441m from their wage bill in order to afford Lionel Messi's renewal.

Griezmann has largely struggled to show his best form during his two-year stint in Camp Nou, and Barca are understood to be pushing hard to get him off the books in the coming weeks.

The 30-year-old's agent has reportedly been in contact with the likes of Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United, but L'Equipe claims that Tottenham have now been given the chance to sign the attacker.

However, the report adds that Griezmann is holding out for a return to Atletico Madrid, who have been tipped to send Saul Niguez in the other direction as part of a swap deal, although there is not thought to be any agreement in place over such a proposal.

Griezmann ended the 2020-21 season with 20 goals and 13 assists in all competitions, and he struck 133 times in 257 games for Atletico during a five-year spell before completing a switch to Camp Nou.
