After bowing out from the French team, Antoine Griezmann devotes himself full time toAtlético de Madrid. This season, he continues to shine with three goals and four assists in 13 La Liga matches, adopting a role slightly further from the opponent’s box than in previous seasons. His contribution nevertheless remains decisive in the Madrid system, as evidenced by the three consecutive victories of the Colchoneros after a slump.
But this season could well be the last of “Grizi” in the rojiblancas colors. According to the Spanish daily Marka departure of the French international is anticipated for the end of the season, with a probable destination across the Atlantic in Major League Soccer (MLS). Although the American club has not yet been revealed, some insiders are talking about the possibility of a transfer as early as January, which would allow Griezmann to acclimatize before the start of the MLS season in March.
Griezmann’s attraction to the United States is no longer a secret: a big fan of American sports like the NFL and NBA, he has often shared his interest in this culture. This new chapter in the North American league could allow him to join other big names in football, such as Hugo Lloris, Lionel Messi and Olivier Giroud. Whether he leaves this winter or at the end of the season, Atlético will have to prepare for the post-Griezmann era, a significant turning point for the Colchoneros and their supporters.
