Barcelona head coach Ernesto Valverde is reportedly eager to pursue Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann in the summer.

Barcelona have reportedly decided to make Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann their number one transfer target next summer.

The 26-year-old has emerged as one of Europe's finest strikers over the last few years, with a goal tally of 86 goals in 170 Atleti games.

Griezmann had looked set to join Manchester United last summer before Atletico were slapped with a transfer ban, and the Frenchman opted to stay in the Spanish capital.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Barca boss Ernesto Valverde has identified Griezmann as a key individual to help strengthen the Blaugrana attack and has urged the club's board to go all out for his signature next summer.

Griezmann has a contract with the Wanda Metropolitano outfit until 2022 that includes a €100m (£88m) release clause.
