BARCELONA president, Joan Laporta, has confirmed that the club's forward, Antoine Griezmann, is up for sale as the club looks to balance its account books.

Barcelona is currently undergoing a financial crisis as the club's management finds ways to reduce the club's wage bills. On that, Griezmann who earns £300,000 per week has been considered up for sale.  

According to Mundo Deportivo, President Joan Laporta said, 'Griezmann is a player that has a market, as clubs show interest, we are building the squad and searching for a financial equilibrium.

'With Antoine, we don't have any problem, we love him. But if the market moves, we are open to all offers because we are in a delicate moment where we have to balance financial fair play and because of that, we should speak with all the players so that it does not hurt them, or (if it does) for the least time possible.

'We are making these balances and are open to all the options that the market can give us, but we don't want to harm the team competitively.'

Juventus and Atletico Madrid, where he played before joining Barcelona, have already shown interest in signing the 27-year-old Frenchman.
