Barça signed the French forward from Atleti two years ago

Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo spoke to El Larguero to about the chances of Antoine Griezmann returning to the Wanda Metropolitano next season.

Barça are weighing up selling the Frenchman to ease the strain on their wage bill and their finances and his former club would be interested if he became available.

"He's a magnificent player and I hope we can bring him back," Cerezo said. "Any team would love to have Griezmann, but I don't think Barça would want to get rid of him."

Griezmann, 30, joined Barça from Atletico two years ago in a deal worth around €120 million.

This season, the France forward has been an ever-present in Ronald Koeman's team and has scored 19 goals in 50 appearances.
