Atletico Madrid are about to make one of the biggest moves of this summer transfer window. According to the Argentinian press, the Cochoneros are indeed about to sign Julian Alvarez, one of the most sought-after strikers on the market. Blocked by Erling Haaland at Manchester City, the Argentinian world champion has already given his agreement to the Madrid club and only a few details remain to be settled.
The arrival of Julian Alvarez seems so well advanced that Antoine Griezmann did not hesitate to react on social networks with emojis, seeming delighted at the idea of seeing the Citizens striker arrive. But according to other rumors, the Mâconnais is also thinking about his future. According to specialists Tom Bogert and Ben Jacobs, the former Barcelona player is in advanced discussions with Los Angeles FC.
A departure but for when?
Antoine Griezmann has repeatedly stated in the past his desire to join the MLS in order to finish his career there. And at 33, the French world champion seems ready to sign off on his adventure in Europe and therefore in the French team. Not for this summer, however, since the transfer window closes in MLS on August 14.
But according to the two specialists, Antoine Griezmann could already seal his departure for the future. It remains to be seen when and if Olivier Giroud and Hugo Lloris, who joined LAFC in recent months, will still be active. The Frenchman is indeed tied to Atletico Madrid until 2026, the date of the next World Cup in the… United States.
