This would be the dream ending for Antoine Griezmann. It is well known that the 2018 world champion has never won La Liga even though he has spent his entire career in the Spanish championship, missing Atlético’s last two titles (2014 and 2021) and never losing. winning none during his two years in Lionel Messi’s Barça. Despite a contract until 2026 with the Colchoneros, “Grizi” is in fact announced as leaving at the end of the season. After ending his career with the French team, he could leave European football to live his “American dream” by playing in MLS.
Atlético fans can expect to lose attacking leader Diego Simeone as even club president Enrique Cerezo casts doubt on the 33-year-old striker’s future. “I don’t know what Griezmann’s last season will be, not even mine… What I can tell you is that Antoine Griezmann is a very important player in the Atlético de Madrid squad”only replied the boss of the Colchoneros in an interview given to Ace to take stock of the club’s year 2024.
Griezmann among the 5 best players in Europe
Asked about the player, Cerezo clarified: “Griezmann is not only a very important player for Atlético Madrid, he is also a very important player throughout Europe. For me, he is one of the five best players in Europe. He’s a great player and an Atlético player at heart, who right now all he wants is the good of Atlético Madrid and for the team to win. For us, it is a source of pride and satisfaction that a player like Griezmann wants to be here.”.
Antoine Griezmann perhaps has an agreement with his leaders to decide his fate at the end of the season. The native of Macon, although he is sometimes clearly struggling physically, has brilliantly carried the Cholo team during the current series of 12 consecutive victories in all competitions, which thus allows Atlético to celebrate the transition to the new year at the top of La Liga (with one point more than Real). Griezmann has scored seven goals in the league and four more in the Champions League, with a total of six assists.
