Griezmann: One More Year of Red and White Magic
The future of Antoine Griezmann remains a key topic at the Metropolitano. Despite turning 34, the French forward, a fundamental piece in Atlético de Madrid’s scheme, could extend his stay at the club.
Although he has one year left on his contract, both parties have met to evaluate his continuity, taking advantage of the international break after his resignation from the French national team.
Griezmann has repeatedly expressed his desire to play in the United States, but his priority is to fulfill his contract with Atlético de Madrid, as long as it does not represent a problem for the club.
According to recent reports, Atlético’s sports management has expressed their enthusiasm to have Griezmann for another season. Now, possible modifications to the existing contract will be explored, following the example of other club references such as Koke and Simeone, who have adjusted their salaries for the sake of the team’s financial stability.
A factor to consider is the role that Griezmann will play in the 2025-26 season. If the club manages to rejuvenate the squad, the Frenchman could assume a secondary role, similar to what he experienced in Barcelona or what Koke is currently experiencing.
However, both the club and the player are in favor of extending their union, which is crucial in this scenario. Since his return, Griezmann has proven to be a club man, willing to contribute under the direction of the coach who has best exploited his talent.
