Mercato ‍: Griezmann in Mexico ‍? Not immediately

Under contract with Atlético de Madrid, Antoine Griezmann finds himself on the shelves of Rayados de Monterrey during this transfer market. A surprising rumor but not so far-fetched.

In recent seasons, Antoine Griezmann has gone through complicated times. If he has always shone in the jersey of the France team, especially during the 2022 World Cup, the Frenchman has never managed to find his place at Barça. It is therefore for this reason that he returned home to Atlético de Madrid in the summer of 2021. Loaned to the Colchoneros for two years, Grizi is once again an Atléti player since his club lifted the call option of 20 million euros included in its loan on July 1. Now linked with Madrid until 2026, Griezmann is therefore preparing to experience a new season in the Spanish capital… or not. Since according to information from journalist Axel Solís, the Rayados de Monterrey are very interested in the 32-year-old striker. Taken up by many Mexican media, this rumor is quite surprising.

Griezmann will stay in Madrid and re-wear the 7

Knowing that the Mexican club is looking for a star to win the Liga MX and seeing that Grizi has always loved the American continent, it could have stuck, but maybe not immediately. Quite simply because Griezmann wants to continue his adventure at Atlético. Author of 15 goals and 16 assists in La Liga last season, the 2018 world champion has no intention of leaving Madrid this summer. Especially since he will find his favorite number with the Colchoneros. This Thursday, the Madrid club has effectively announced that Grizi, holder of number 8 since his return, will again wear 7, as in his debut. One more sign that shows that Griezmann will stay well in Madrid, despite this exotic interest from Mexico.
