Barcelona are looking to bring Neymar back to Camp Nou and it looks as though Antoine Griezmann will be used as a makeweight to facilitate the deal, according to Sky Sports. Paris Saint-Germain value Neymar at €150m while Barca value Griezmann at €100m, and the Catalan giants hope to strike a part-exchange deal that not only helps them land one of their two top targets -- the other being Inter Milan's Lautaro Martinez for €111m -- but also offload Griezmann at the same time.
