Barcelona head coach Ernesto Valverde has opened the door for a pursuit of Atletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann.

Reports in France have claimed the 26-year-old has agreed a deal in principle to join the LaLiga leaders next year for a fee in the region of €90million.

Atletico midfielder Koke said on Thursday his team-mate was happy at the club but indicated he should move on if he no longer feels completely committed.

Valverde insists the talk is simply a rumour at present, much suggestions of Real Madrid's interest in Neymar, but stopped short of ruling out a bid in future.

Asked whether Griezmann to Barcelona or Neymar to Madrid were the most likely, he told a news conference: "Neither. Rumours are rumours."

He then continued on Griezmann: "He is a great player and every time players are linked with Barcelona, they are great players. 

"But I'm happy with the ones I have and, in the future, we'll see."
