Saul Niguez's agent 'is in contact with Manchester United and Liverpool' over a move for the Atletico Madrid star... despite Barcelona desperate to swap Antoine Griezmann with the Spain midfielder and offload the France striker's £300,000-a-week wages

Manchester United and Liverpool are reportedly in contention to find Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez.

As Sportsmail reported on Wednesday, Barcelona and the LaLiga title winners are in advanced negotiations about the swap deal of the summer, with Saul moving to the Nou Camp and Antoine Griezmann returning to the Wanda Metropolitano.

And AS have now revealed that the two English giants could snap up the 26-year-old if talks with Barca fall through.

Saul Niguez is out of favour at Atletico Madrid and has been touted around to several clubs
Barcelona are talks with Atleti over a deal with Saul that would also involve Antoine Griezmann
Saul's agent has also reportedly been in contact with both Liverpool and Manchester United

The Reds may be particularly interested in central midfield reinforcements following the departure of Georginio Wijnaldum to Paris Saint-Germain earlier this month.
