Despite current boss, Quique Setien‘s recent decisions concerning Griezmann being heavily criticized especially in the match against Atletico Madrid, where the 120 million euro superstar was substituted with just minutes left in the clock. The reality remains that the French international is struggling to find his foot at the Camp Nou.

Arrived just a year ago, Griezmann was signed by the Barca board in the hopes of elevating their game to the level that would enable them to win a Champions League but the former Atleti forward has been struggling under both Ernesto Valverde and Setien.

Despite receiving plenty of opportunities to find his ground at Camp Nou with regards to sharing his space with Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi, the World Cup winner has failed to repeat his performance with Atleti that earned him a third spot in the 2016 Ballon d’Or recognition.

Griezmann’s latest quarrel with the management at Barca has fuels the possibilities of an exit this summer with one massive news coming from Italian outlet, Rai Sport (as per AS). It is being reported that the 29-year-old could follow his current teammate, Arthur Melo, to join Cristiano Ronaldo at Juventus.

The report claims that the two clubs are negotiating for a swap deal that would involve Griezmann for two Juve players, Adrien Rabiot and Douglas Costa. The deal is looking very attractive for both sides especially taking into consideration the positive relationship between the two clubs as evident in the Arthur-Pjanic deal.

Meanwhile, Juve are not the only club interested in the Frenchman as Barca are planning to use him for either the Neymar deal with Paris Saint-Germain or in the ongoing negotiations with Inter Milan for Lautaro Martinez. Even Arsenal have immerged as a possible destination.
