Griezmann's Future at Atleti: What's Really Happening?
Atlético fans are closely following the situation of Antoine Griezmann, whose contract with Atlético de Madrid is nearing its end. According to L’Équipe, the French player has not yet responded to the renewal offer presented by the club, denying rumors of an imminent agreement.
His lawyer has expressed surprise at the information published in Spain. Apparently, Atlético has offered Griezmann a contract extension for two years, with the option of a third. While there was a meeting between his representatives and the club in late March to discuss the terms, the salary issue was not discussed in detail.
The player would not be willing to accept a significant reduction in his current salary, as has been speculated. Griezmann, a fundamental pillar in Cholo’s scheme, is also considering other options, although he rules out offers from the Persian Gulf.
One possibility that attracts the Frenchman is the MLS, specifically Los Angeles FC, where he could reunite with his compatriots Hugo Lloris and Olivier Giroud. Griezmann’s admiration for American culture is well known, and this option could be attractive. The Atleti fans eagerly await a decision that will define the future of one of their idols.
