Antoine Griezmann sets his sights on Barcelona by admitting that he would love to score for Atletico Madrid at Camp Nou in Sunday's clash.

Atletico Madrid striker Antoine Griezmann has admitted that he 'really wants to score' against Barcelona this weekend, amid strong rumours that he is set to join the La Liga leaders.

Griezmann has been repeatedly tipped to join the Catalan giants in recent times, having rejected the chance to link up with Manchester United last summer out of loyalty to Atleti.

The France international heads to Camp Nou - a ground at which he has never previously scored - in fine form, thanks to seven goals in his last two La Liga outings over the past week.

Speaking ahead of the top-of-the-table showdown in Catalonia on Sunday afternoon, Griezmann once again attempted to play down talk of an imminent move to Barca.

"I have never scored at Camp Nou," he told reporters. "I really want to score and celebrate it on Sunday. I'm very focused on trying to do something big with my club and my national team. I am very involved in those two teams.

"I want to enjoy this and my team, in La Liga, the Europa League and the World Cup. I don't think about what can happen beyond this. I'm not saying that means I'm going to go, because I've been saying the same thing for four years and I'm still here."

Griezmann has 15 goals in 23 league outings this term overall, placing him fourth in the scoring charts behind Iago Aspas, Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi.
