Barcelona have reportedly made a new approach for Antoine Griezmann.

The French attacker was subject to intense transfer speculation last summer but ultimately penned a new deal at Atletico Madrid.

However, reports claim the 27-year-old has started to regret his decision to turn down a transfer to Camp Nou.

He's now hoping to seal a switch at the end of the season with the Catalan giants set to table an offer when the summer transfer window reopens, per French outlet L'Équipe via Get French Football News.

Griezmann has a €120 million (£102 million) release clause in his current Atletico Madrid contract expiring in June 2019.

Barcelona are prepared to offer him €16 million (£13.6 million) a year on a contract until 2024.

Griezmann is earning €21 million (£18 million) a year. But to compensate for his wage drop, Barcelona are offering a considerable signing bonus.

Only Lionel Messi would be on more money than Griezmann should he secure a move to Barcelona in the summer.

Griezmann's father, who's his main advisor, is hoping to convince his son to swap La Liga allegiances.

It's also suggested that both his father and the player himself are frustrated with the club's Champions League exit to Juventus.
