Enrique Cerezo: 'No Barcelona contact over Antoine Griezmann'

Barcelona have not yet been in contact over a swoop for Antoine Griezmann, according to Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo.

Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo has revealed that Barcelona have not yet been in contact with his club over a swoop for Antoine Griezmann ahead of the 2019-20 campaign.

Griezmann recently revealed that he would be leaving Atletico this summer after spending the last five seasons with the capital giants.

Barca were considered to be the favourites for the attacker, although Manchester United are said to have made contact with the 28-year-old to discuss a possible move.

Earlier this month, Griezmann admitted that he was unsure which club he would join this summer.

Cerezo has now provided an update on the situation, with the Atletico president revealing that the Spanish champions have not been in touch to discuss the France international.

"Griezmann has been with for five years and done a splendid job," Cerezo told Onda Cero. "We have a good relationship. Nice, trustworthy. I hope wherever he goes he will be treated the same as he has been with us.

"I don't know where he's going, he didn't say. I don't have the slightest idea where he will go. I don't think anyone knows. No one from Barca has contacted me."

Griezmann will see the release clause in his deal at the Wanda Metropolitano drop to £104m on July 1.
