Newly signed Barcelona forward, Antoine Griezmann, has said signing Neymar will be very a “difficult” transfer for the club.

Griezmann completed his transfer to Barcelona earlier this month after months of negotiation with his former club Atletico Madrid.

According to the France international, his new club will face another challenge to seal Neymar’s return to the Nou Camp.

Following reports, Barcelona had offered £90m plus two players for the 27-year-old and PSG are looking for more than the £198m they paid Barcelona to sign him two years ago.

Asked what it would be like to have Neymar join him, Messi and Suarez, Griezmann said: “We have to get it done first, because it is a difficult transfer.

“But he is a great player, he’s had a couple of injuries but is at an incredible level.

“We also have [Ousmane] Dembele, [Philippe] Coutinho and Malcom who are also important players for us and lets hope we can achieve great things with them.”
