Griezmann: A key decision for the future of Atlético
Antoine Griezmann faces a crucial crossroads for his future as a ‘colchonero’. With his 34th birthday just celebrated and a contract until 2026, the French star must inform the club in these days whether he continues defending the red and white jersey or opts for a new challenge in the MLS, where former teammates like Lloris and Giroud await him.
After a demanding season, where he has shown signs of fatigue, Griezmann remains a fundamental pillar in Simeone’s scheme, being the most used outfield player. Despite this, the interest from the American league and the presence of friends at Los Angeles FC could influence his decision.
This month of March, and especially this week, are decisive. Atlético’s management expects to meet with the player to know his intentions and plan the future of the team.
Although the club already has a guaranteed replacement like Julián, Griezmann’s possible departure would leave an important void in the locker room and in the hearts of the fans. Beyond the numbers and goals, Griezmann has earned a place in Atlético’s history, breaking records and leaving an indelible mark.
His connection with the club and the fans is undeniable, and his decision will mark a before and after in the recent history of the club. Whatever happens, both Atlético and Griezmann are destined to say goodbye at the height of the player’s legacy at the club.
