No progress on Saul Niguez's potential swap deal with Griezmann
The potential transfer of Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez to Barcelona has allegedly stagnated in recent days.
In an exchange deal to lure Antoine Griezmann back to Madrid, Niguez has been widely connected with a transfer to the Camp Nou before the 2021/22
La Ligaseason.
With Niguez sliding down the hierarchy in recent months and Griezmann maintaining to be a beloved figure for the Argentine coach,
Diego Simeone
is said to be interested in the trade.
According to sources from
Diario AS, however, little progress has been achieved in negotiations, with the two clubs remaining far apart on the specifics of a deal.
Barcelona's lack of interest might open the door to a move to England, with Liverpool and Manchester United keeping an eye on the Spanish international.
Simeone is willing to sell him to a
Premier Leagueteam for a reasonable amount since he plans to acquire a new forward this summer.
