It is now certain: Antoine Griezmann will not complete his contract at Atlético de Madrid – a lease running until June 2026. As the weeks go by, the departure of the former French international becomes clearer. The point of decline appears more and more obvious.
A great fan of US sports and fan of American culture, Antoine Griezmann seems more than ever destined for Major League Soccer (MLS), the elite of North American football. Recently, his former partners and friends in the French team, Hugo Lloris and Olivier Giroud, took the plunge. And it is precisely in their club that the person concerned should find themselves.
An improbable departure this winter
According to information from the Spanish media Relevo, Los Angeles FC, which also counts former Saint-Etienne striker Denis Bouanga in its ranks, is holding the line to welcome a new 2018 world champion. Especially since the Californian club already benefits from the services of a certain Carlos Vela, close to Antoine Griezmann when the latter played at Real Sociedad.
Discussions are already open with the management of the Colchoneros to organize the departure of the Mâconnais icon, even if the steps will not be missed. The source cited thus judges Antoine Griezmann’s departure this winter to be improbable. The trend is more towards a transfer at the end of the financial year, next June.
