The French forward had been expected to sign for Manchester United in the summer, after a transfer saga that stretched all the way back to January 2016.

But after Atletico Madrid were given a transfer ban, the move failed to materialise as the 26-year-old did not want to leave the club without a replacement in sight.

United are still believed to want the striker, but his preferred destination is the Nou Camp.

And according to Don Balon, he is looking for a guarantee of their interest.

With an upcoming World Cup next summer, the former Real Sociedad star wants his future dealt with as soon as possible.
But Barcelona boss Ernesto Valverde is not happy with Griezmann forcing his hand when it comes to transfers.

And with the Frenchman struggling for form this season, the Catalans are believed to have cooled their interest slightly.

Griezmann has scored just six goals in 16 matches, as Atletico have underwhelmed this year.

They trail league leaders Barca by eight points after 13 games.
