Back in the foreground at Atlético de Madrid, Antoine Griezmann is once again arousing envy. A club is preparing a major offer to try to seduce the Frenchman.
Returning to Atlético de Madrid in the summer of 2021 after two years of trouble on the FC Barcelona side, Antoine Griezmann has gradually regained his football. Two seasons later, the French international has once again become the essential link he was in the system put in place by his coach, Diego Simeone. Elected Madrid club’s player of the season at the end of the last financial year, “Grizou” is once again attracting the spotlight and some clubs dream of attracting him.
This is particularly the case of a leading team in the Turkish championship, since as indicated Fotomac on its front page, Galatasaray would think very seriously about trying to poach the Colchonero. The specialized daily ensures that “ Galatasaray dreams of bringing the player from Atlético de Madrid“. And according to the media, the Istanbul leaders have quite significantly advanced their thinking on this file which occupies them ” for many weeks“.
A substantial offer
Everything even seems to be closed on the Turkish side since Galatasaray would now be ready to formulate “ a substantial offer at Atlético. However, and despite the enthusiasm and the desire to further strengthen a workforce which has already seen the recent recruitment of Mauro Icardi (final transfer) and Wilfried Zaha (arrived free), the operation promises to be delicate. And from a strictly objective point of view, it even has very little chance of succeeding.
Firstly because Antoine Griezmann recently said he wants to stay in Madrid. Then because, even if Atlético would not be against a contribution in liquidity, it should all the same privilege the sporting aspect by preserving its current strong link. To see if the money will be able to tilt the opinion and the reflection of the various protagonists.
