Griezmann: Future in the Air and Rojiblanco Challenge
Antoine Griezmann’s situation at Atlético de Madrid has taken an unexpected turn. After a start to 2025 that did not meet expectations, the Frenchman has found himself relegated to the bench in the last two matches, opening a debate about his role and future in the team.
Despite having a contract until 2026, the possibility of a move to the United States is latent, leaving the final decision in the hands of the player. Diego Simeone, while reducing Griezmann’s undisputed starting status, maintains confidence in the player, considered one of his greatest creations as a coach.
The Argentine coach is confident that the ‘7’s drop in performance is temporary and that he still has a lot to offer the club. Griezmann, at 34, maintains the hope of lifting an important title with Atlético, with the Club World Cup being the closest objective.
However, he must first face the last rounds of LaLiga, seeking to recover his best level and demonstrate that he can still be a key piece in the Rojiblanco scheme. The player’s current desire is to continue defending the Atlético shirt, but being a differential element on the field. His performance in upcoming matches will be crucial to making a final decision about his future, a future that, for the moment, looks uncertain but full of potential.
