The smile still doesn’t seem to stick to Antoine Griezmann’s face. In recent months, the Frenchman has once again become the idol of the Wanda Metropolitano. It must be said that his performances have once again become those of a top player, both at club and national level. This season with the Colchoneros, there have already been 12 goals scored and one assist in 16 matches in all competitions. He is even on his way to becoming the top scorer in the history of Atlético de Madrid, just that. Only 4 goals separate him from Luis Aragones.
In these conditions, why want to leave, him whose name was recently mentioned on the side of Manchester United. Well, according to his statements to Marca, it is not really a question of a departure. Very happy where he is and under contract until 2026, even if his contract provides for a possible departure thanks to a very accessible departure clause (€25 million), Griezmann sees the future at Atlético de Madrid. He even says that this is the best version of himself that we see at the moment on La Liga pitches.
No question of leaving
“I’ve always been like that. I need to be happy off the field to be happy on it. And my teammates, the coach, the physiotherapists, the stewards help me with that… there is very good chemistry between them. And the connection with the fans, which I got back and now you can see I’m more relaxed and happier playing. It is thanks to all this that we see the best version of my game”says the Frenchman who is aiming for nothing more and nothing less than the Liga title, which he has never won before.
His game is also evolving and his experience is becoming a definite asset. “Over the years, we know when we play well or badly. When you’re younger, you don’t have this tendency to look at what your team needs, where you can hurt the opponent. Over the years, we realize and pay more attention to these details because, with them, we can help win matches. What I like most is watching the matches, the rivals, the teammates… mixing it up to win the matches.” He is determined to win with Atlético.
