Griezmann: A Future Decided at Atlético?
Antoine Griezmann, a key player for Atlético de Madrid, turned 34 on March 21, raising questions about his future at the club. Although he has a contract until 2026, it is not certain that he will fulfill it, with MLS showing strong interest.
Interestingly, 34 is the age at which great references such as Gabi and Fernando Torres left Atlético. Gabi left for Qatar in 2018 at the age of 34, while Torres hung up his boots also at that age.
Godín left with 35, a year later, and his departure influenced Griezmann’s initial decision to leave the club, although he later returned, acknowledging his mistake. Forlán said goodbye at 32 and Futre at 33.
Although in recent matches Griezmann has shown fatigue, his influence on the game is undeniable and Simeone is aware of this. The Red and White fans hope that Griezmann will continue to provide his magic at least until the end of his contract, before considering a possible move to the American league. His commitment and quality are essential for the present and future of the team.
