Back after a mixed experience at FC Barcelona, Antoine Griezmann will have taken a little less than two seasons before winning back the hearts of Atlético Madrid fans and once again becoming an essential part of Diego Simeone’s squad. At the end of a successfully completed 2022-2023 exercise (16 goals, 18 assists in 48 games in all competitions), the French playmaker is still essential to the Colchoneros this season (3 games, 3 starts). But although his contract expires in June 2026, the French international could take to their heels next summer.
This summer, there was talk of Antoine Griezmann’s possible departure to Saudi Arabia as Al Nassr made eyes at him. Then the improbable rumor linked to a transfer to Paris Saint-Germain as well as the temptation to end his career in Major League Soccer came to give a little more weight to his desires elsewhere. So, Sport claims that Atlético Madrid are already working behind the scenes to find him a worthy heir and have identified Federico Chiesa. But for the Juventus Turin player, the Colchoneros will have to get their hands on the checkbook because his price is estimated at 60 M€.
