Griezmann to Decide Atlético Madrid Future by March
Antoine Griezmann, Atlético Madrid's star forward, will determine by late March whether to continue with the club or pursue a move to Major League Soccer (MLS).
Antoine Griezmann, the French forward for Atlético Madrid, is set to make a pivotal decision regarding his career by late March. Approaching his 34th birthday, Griezmann will assess his motivation and physical readiness to continue competing at the highest level. Although his contract with Atlético extends until June 2026, the final choice rests with him. The club has expressed its willingness to respect whatever path he chooses.
Griezmann has previously expressed a desire to play in Major League Soccer (MLS) in the United States, stating that Atlético would be his last European club. This potential move could occur either at the end of the current season or the following one. Despite his age, Griezmann's performance remains exceptional. This season, he has participated in 25 official matches—18 in La Liga, six in the Champions League, and one in the Copa del Rey—scoring 11 goals and providing six assists across these competitions.
Manager Diego Simeone has been strategically managing Griezmann's playing time, substituting him more frequently to ensure he remains fresh for crucial moments. This approach comes after observing that Griezmann experienced fatigue towards the end of the previous season, which impacted the team's overall performance. With a stronger bench this season, including players like Sorloth and Correa, Simeone can afford to rest Griezmann without compromising the team's competitiveness.
As March approaches, both the club and its supporters await Griezmann's decision, which will significantly influence Atlético Madrid's planning and strategy for the upcoming seasons.
