Griezmann: Uncertainty and Future at Atlético
The French press is closely following Antoine Griezmann’s situation at Atlético de Madrid. After weeks of talks about a possible agreement for his continuity, the situation does not seem so clear.
The newspaper ‘L’Equipe’ highlights the uncertainty surrounding the striker’s future, pointing to his recent performance, with several games without scoring or assisting, which raises questions about his role in the team.
With his contract about to end, the Atlético board awaits a response from Griezmann on the proposal to renew until 2027. This renewal would imply a reduction in his salary, dividing his current eight million net into four per season.
Although his departure would free up a significant sum for the club, Griezmann’s permanence is considered valuable, especially after the renewal of Koke, a close friend of the Frenchman.
‘L’Equipe’ raises the question of whether a possible substitution of Griezmann in the match against Las Palmas is due to a pressure strategy in the midst of negotiations or a tactical decision by ‘Cholo’ Simeone. The newspaper leans more towards the second option. Despite the uncertainty, the club remains somewhat optimistic about the possibility of Griezmann accepting the renewal, following Koke’s example and establishing himself as a rojiblanca legend. His continuity would be an important boost for Atlético’s sporting project at the Metropolitano.
