Griezmann: Does a New Role Announce His Future at Atlético?
Atlético de Madrid faces a key match at the Metropolitano, but attention is focused on Antoine Griezmann, a crucial player in the club’s recent history. Surprisingly, Griezmann is once again a substitute, following a run of 15 matches with poor performance.
This situation is reminiscent of the 22-23 season, when he was a substitute for contractual reasons. However, this time the decision is purely sporting due to his decline in shots and key passes, despite being the outfield player with the most minutes this season.
Simeone, although he has defended the player, has opted for this measure, similar to what he did with legends like Gabi and Koke. Now, the question is whether Griezmann will accept this new role.
The club has offered him a renewal until 2027, reducing his salary in the last two seasons, a practice that often precedes an exit, as seen with Joao Félix and Vitolo. Although Atlético suggested that Griezmann had accepted the offer, his representative denied it. This new reality of fewer minutes could be a determining factor in his decision to continue or not at Atlético, possibly opening the door to a departure in the future.
