Back from a rather underwhelming Euro 2020 campaign, which displayed him out of being recognizable as World Cup 2018, 30-year old French international winger and forward Antoine Griezmann has actually been mostly under the weather since the very start of his Barcelona FC tenure. Purchased by Blaugrana on a 120 million euros, from Atletico Madrid, two years ago, Griezmann is now basically worth half that sum, and is up for grabs indeed, since the spark between the club and him never really fired up.

To this end, while being in alleged talks with La Liga defending champions on a move-back scenario, Real Sociedad alumni, according to latest French news, is growing into a major target for Juventus management as well. Bianconeri boss Massimiliano Allegri seems in fact adamant over replacing Cristiano Ronaldo, more and more likely to leave Italian giants for good, with former Colchoneros star, who would experience Serie A and Italian football for the first time around.

Besides, Chelsea and Manchester United, tracking him thoughout the late 2010's already, are trying to exploit the conundrum going on between Barça and Griezmann, and get him on a rather cheap trade price. The player capped 557 times as a pro overall, throughout his club career, scoring 220 goals therein. 95 caps and 38 goals for French senior national team add up to the aforementioned amount.
