Messi blocks Griezmann but approves Coutinho deal
Barcelona are desperate to strengthen the squad, with the club’s coffers bursting from Neymar’s £200million move to PSG back in August.
And Diario Gol claim that, while Messi has approved two of Valverde’s three potential deals, it is the signing of Antoine Griezmann that has not sat well with Barcelona’s main man.
The 30-year-old is supposedly backing their bid to sign Liverpool ace Philippe Coutinho, and he is also happy for Barcelona to sign a replacement for Javier Mascherano.
