Manchester United are reportedly the latest club who Barcelona have offered forward Antoine Griezmann to this summer.

The Catalan outfit are understood to be looking to offload the 30-year-old, who is now the club's highest earner after Lionel Messi officially became a free agent this month.

Barca president Joan Laporta have been instructed by La Liga chiefs to reduce their wage bill before the 2021-22 campaign begins in order to comply with financial fair play regulations.

At present Sergio Aguero, Memphis Depay and Eric Garcia cannot be registered for the new season, despite arriving on free transfers, until the club balance their books.

Griezmann has been heavily linked with a potential swap deal which would see him return to Atletico Madrid in exchange for midfielder Saul Niguez.

The forward is also believed to have been offered to Premier League clubs, including Manchester City and Chelsea, and the Daily Mirror reports that United are the latest team that Barcelona have been in touch with.

A deal for Griezmann to join Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side seems unlikely, however, as the Red Devils are not prepared to pay a major fee for the Frenchman, while they are also prioritising other targets, including Real Madrid's Raphael Varane.

Sunday's key events


GOLF
· The men's golf reaches its conclusion, with plenty of players still in medal contention. Home favourite Hideki Matsuyama is one shot off Xander Schauffele's lead, while Great Britain's Paul Casey is another shot further back and Tommy Fleetwood is also in the mix (11.30pm-8am)

CYCLING - BMX
· Great Britain have already made history in the BMX events in Tokyo, something Charlotte Worthington and Declan Brooks will be looking to add to in the women's (2.10am) and men's (3.10am) freestyle finals

SWIMMING
· The final day of swimming action begins with the men's 50m freestyle final. Ben Proud could add to a medal-laden Games in the pool for Team GB so far, although he is up against USA's Caeleb Dressel, who is going for his fourth gold in Tokyo (2.30am)
· From sprint to endurance, Great Britain's second medal hope of the day comes through Daniel Jervis in the men's 1500m freestyle final (2.44am)
· Team GB will again be among the heavy favourites for gold in the last swimming event of the Games - the men's 4x100m medley relay final - having won the mixed event in a world record time on Saturday (3.36am)

BOXING
· Already guaranteed at least a bronze, Pat McCormack takes part in the men's welterweight semi-final against Ireland's Aidan Walsh with a spot in the gold medal final at stake (4.03am)
· Ben Whittaker is also in the semi-finals of the men's light heavyweight and will be looking to continue Team GB's success in the ring (4.51am)

TENNIS
· There will be a surprise on the top of the men's tennis podium after Novak Djokovic missed out on a medal altogether. Alexander Zverev takes on Karen Khachanov in the second match on Centre Court at the Ariake Tennis Park (7am-2pm)

SAILING
· Alison Young will be going for gold in the women's laser radial medal race (7.33am)

ARTISTIC GYMNASTICS
· Team GB's Max Whitlock will look to defend his 2016 Olympic title in the men's pommel horse final (10.41am)

ATHLETICS
· The men's high jump final includes GB's Tom Gale, although his chances of a medal look bleak (11.10am)
· So often the blue-riband event of the Olympics, the men's 100m final takes place as the world's fastest bid to be crowned Usain Bolt's successor. Three Brits have made it into the semi-finals (11.15am-11.32am), and the final looks wide open after an underwhelming display by favourite Trayvon Bromell on Saturday (1.50pm)

HOCKEY
· Great Britain face India in the men's quarter-final (1pm)
