Antoine Griezmann to Barcelona? Well, reports surfaced that the Atletico winger is to join the Camp Nou outfit in the summer. And the club president has since responded to the rampant rumours.
The French international remains subject to intense transfer speculation.
During the summer window, he was heavily linked with a move to the Premier League with Manchester United reportedly close to sealing a mega deal.

A few months later, Griezmann is once again under the transfer spot light. This time around, connected with Barcelona.
And reports emerged from Spain claiming a move is done. It suggested Barcelona needed to activate his £100 million release clause to seal a transfer.
And ahead of last nights La Liga fixture against Leganes, Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo was quizzed about if Griezmann has already put pen-to-paper on a Barcelona contract.

Cerezo replied brilliantly: "The only thing that Griezmann has signed with Barcelona is that he will try to score 3 or 4 goals against them."
Expect the Griezmann to Barcelona talk to dominate the coming months.
Meanwhile, the 26-year-old showed just why he's a wanted man following his goal-scoring heroics, last night.

He bagged all four goals including a stunning free-kick.
That preceded a hat-trick against Sevilla, too.
He's weighed in with 15 league goals and seven assists this campaign, with Atleti four points behind league leaders, Barcelona, and 10 points ahead of cross-town rivals, Real.
Atletico's next game - it could only be - away at Barcelona.
