"In the case of Griezmann, there are many players with whom one can be talking and engaging in some kind of relationship in case there is an opportunity."It's our obligation to have contacts with players." While those in charge of the purse strings in Catalunya are prepared to admit that Griezmann is a player who would be of interest to the club, Barca boss Ernesto Valverede has endeavoured to steer clear of being drawn into the debate. He has said on the ongoing transfer talk: "Griezmann is a great player who is on another team, he is not in ours.“I like our team very much.”</blockquote>
