Barcelona identify Willian as Griezmann alternative

Barcelona have reportedly identified Chelsea attacker Willian as a possible alternative to Atletico Madrid striker Antoine Griezmann.

According to reports in Spain, the Catalan giants want to sign the French forward this summer but are aware of the difficulties that the deal could present.

Griezmann, who was so heavily linked with a move to Manchester United last summer, is expected to complete a summer deal to join up with the likes of Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez at the Nou Camp but it is going to cost Barcelona.

Atletico Madrid are hoping to hand Griezmann a new deal, that would, in turn, raise his release clause, meaning a deal could cost Barcelona in the region of €200 million.

A deal to sign Willian from Chelsea would be considerably cheaper, especially if the club misses out on Champions League football.

After falling out of favour earlier in the season, Willian was linked with moves away from Stamford Bridge, but he has since won his place back in the team in spectacular fashion.
