'If Griezmann comes, we'll have to play with six forwards'

"I was able to talk to him, just to know what he thought about my club," Umtiti told 'Canal Plus' in an interview that spanned various topics including his future as well as that of Griezmann.

"I think it's like anyone else: everyone thinks good things. Players at this level dream," Umtiti continued.

There was one phrase though that stood out. If Griezmann comes we'll have to play with six forwards," the defender joked, barely able to stifle a laugh.

The Atletico Madrid forward is thought to be on of Barca's top targets this summer, with the media providing weekly updates on the progress of his supposed move to the Camp Nou.

As well as being international team-mates, Umtiti and Griezmann are also good friends. Finally, in the same interview, Umtiti also revealed that there are several clubs "interested" in his services, but insisted he is "happy" at Barca.
