Barcelona are considering selling Antoine Griezmann this summer in order to avoid a pay-rise due the Frenchman.

Griezmann joined Barca from Atletico Madrid in the summer of 2019 for a fee of €120m and on a contract worth €18m-a-year - net.

And as part of the deal, reports Okdiario, several clauses were included in the contract, which include a pay-rise this summer taking Griezmann's terms to €21m-a-year.

Due to the club's difficult finances and new president Joan Laporta's transfer plans, there's now a discussion inside the club about selling Griezmann.

However, the big problem for Barca is that so far there's been little interest across Europe about taking the Frenchman off their hands.
