The negotiation between Barcelona and Atletico was completed after reports that the deal will involve swapping Griezmann with Portugal international Jao Felix.

But Atletico are not willing to let go of their 21-year-old forward.

Barcelona bought the French man for £108m two years ago and has scored only 35 goals in 102 games which does not match the amount spent by the Catalan Giants.

Griezmann was initially linked with a swap deal involving Saul Niguez, who may be joining Chelsea.
