Griezmann: An Atlético Legend Facing a Decisive Future
Antoine Griezmann, a legend of Atlético de Madrid, could be living his last months as a Rojiblanco player. The Frenchman, the club’s all-time top scorer with 197 goals, is just three goals away from reaching the historic figure of 200.
In addition, he recently equaled Lionel Messi as the foreign player with the most matches in LaLiga, with 520 appearances, and has the opportunity to surpass him shortly. However, his future at the Metropolitano is uncertain.
This month, Griezmann and the club will hold a crucial meeting to define his destiny. Although he has a contract for one more season, everything indicates that he could bring forward his departure. Family reasons would prompt him to leave European football and try his luck in Major League Soccer (MLS).
Griezmann has always expressed his desire to retire in the United States. Rumors say that negotiations with Los Angeles FC are advanced, where he would reunite with friends such as Olivier Giroud and Hugo Lloris. Atlético would not hinder his decision, recognizing his career and dedication. Before leaving, Griezmann longs to conquer one more title with the team, where he has played 431 matches, consolidating his legacy as one of the great Colchoneros idols.
