FC Barcelona to sign three players worth €150 million if a deal for Griezmann fails

The latest development in the transfer saga of Antoine Griezmann has revealed that the Frenchman may, after all, decide to stay put at Atletico Madrid this summer. In such a scenario, FC Barcelona have started to devise an alternative plan for Griezmann.

According to Don Balon, if not for Griezmann, Barcelona will then move for a utility fullback and two creative midfielders. The three-man Barcelona wishlist includes Joshua Kimmich, Miralem Pjanic and Christian Eriksen.

All three are reportedly valued at €50 million each. Kimmich is seen as an upgrade on Sergi Roberto whereas Pjanic and Eriksen can help to fill Iniesta’s void. Philippe Coutinho will then play alongside Messi and Suarez in a front three.
