Although a deal is yet to be finalised, if multiple reports are to be believed then both Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are trying to construct a swap deal involving Antoine Griezmann and Saul Niguez.
Whilst it’s clear that the Catalans have to get some wages off of the books, and to that end it puts Griezmann at risk in any event, is swapping him for Saul really what Barca need?
Ostensibly a midfielder, he’s often filled in in defence for the Rojiblancos, and it could be argued he hasn’t been close to his best for some while now.
