Speculations of Antoine Griezmann being on the transfer list has alerted many admirers including Manchester United, who have previously attempted to sign the Frenchman before his move to Camp Nou from Atletico Madrid.
Moreover, additional eight players have also been made available to buy or loan, including former Liverpool stars, Luis Suarez and Coutinho, while fellow French international, Ousmane Dembele, is also among the forwards listed. Ivan Rakitic and Arturo Vidal are the midfielders that have been made available. Fellow World cup winner, Samuel Umtiti, is among the defenders available for sale alongside Sergi Roberto and Nelson Semedo.
Barca are mainly struggling to sell Coutinho after the Brazilian failed to repeat the success he had at Anfield ever since his arrival in 2018 for the club’s record signing of £142 million. Bayern Munich have rejected the opportunity to sign the midfielder on a permanent basis after his loan spell.
According to Daily Mail, the 27-year-old is being offered to Newcastle, Everton, Chelsea, Tottenham, and Liverpool. The Brazilian’s hefty salary of £12 million a season is causing issues as none of the clubs are interested in paying such an amount.
