If Didier Deschamps followed the last matches of Atlético, Liga and in the Champions League, he has no reason to recall Antoine Griezmann. The offensive leader of the Blues World Champions 2018 and finalists of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar suddenly announced his international retirement last September, two months after a particularly laborious Euro 2024. Since then, the Spanish press regularly announces it on the departure of Madrid for the MLS. And if “Grizi” is still capable of genius gesture on the ground, it is often in great suffering physically.

While waiting to live her American Dreamperhaps alongside Hugo Lloris and Olivier Giroud at Los Angeles FC, Griezmann dreams of giving his very first title of Spanish champion with the Colchoneros. The latter are currently the Dolphins of Barça with one point less and are ahead of the Real of two units. The “Cholo” Simeone team may not compete in the Champions League final on May 31 in Munich, but it will carefully prepare the brand new club World Cup organized in the United States, from June 14 to July 13.

Except thunderclap, Griezmann will be in the game. If the native of Mâcon has an agreement with his leaders to leave the club this summer, he is under contract until 2026 and there is little chance of seeing his transfer to the MLS materialize between the end of the Liga and the start of the Club World Cup. Dazn, the competition broadcaster, also displays the 2018 world champion on his visual, 100 days from the first match. A jackpot is at stake. FIFA has set the endowment of the competition at $ 100 million and, as estimated The teamEuropean clubs are guaranteed to pocket 30 million euros for their participation and will even return from New York with “100 potatoes” in the event of a coronation.

Atlético fell into the PSG group, the B, and the two Cadors of the Old Continent will compete in the first day, on June 15 at the Rose Bowl de Pasadena (north of Los Angeles). What allow Griezmann to find a certain Ousmane Dembélé. The Madrid training will then face the Seattle Sounders four days later, in the lair of the US training, then the botafogo of John Textor, on June 23, again. The qualified of group B will cross with two in Pool A, that of the Inter Miami of Lionel Messi.
