Barca consider Griezmann-Neymar swap amid 'strained' Messi relationship

Barcelona could use Antoine Griezmann as part of a swap deal to lure Neymar back to the club next summer, the Daily Mail reports. 

Barca had looked to sign Neymar from Paris Saint-Germain in the last transfer window, but after talks broke down the Brazilian stayed with the Ligue 1 champions. However, with Griezmann – who only joined from Atletico Madrid in the summer – reportedly having a strained relationship with Lionel Messi, Barca could look into offering him to PSG in a bid to get Neymar back at the Nou Camp.

*** Surely not. Talk that Griezmann has failed to settle at Barca is quite ridiculous when you consider he has been there for merely a matter of months. This report – originally from French outlet Le10sport – almost has the whiff of a club statement being released in light of it. Hmm.
