Barcelona's recent 0-0 draw with Sevilla on June 20 has sparked tension within the team, with Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann reportedly involved in a training ground bust-up.

According to reports, the incident occurred during an intense training session, with manager Quique Setien intervening to resolve the matter.

It is alleged that Messi and Griezmann clashed due to Messi's decision not to pass the ball to Griezmann during the game against Leganes, which has been a recurring issue since Griezmann's move to Camp Nou last summer.

Griezmann, who joined Barcelona for a whopping £108 million, has failed to impress since his arrival, with reports suggesting that the Catalan club are making efforts to sell him due to financial constraints.

Manchester United, who were linked with Griezmann before he joined Barcelona, would likely be interested in signing him if he were to become available.
