Between prolonging at Atlético Madrid or going to MLS, Antoine Griezmann has still not decided. At the end of the contract this summer, the French striker (34) was supposed to make a decision in recent days. But if Reader announced that he had opted for a new two -year lease with the Colchoneros, nothing would actually be recorded.

This vagueness becomes embarrassing for Madrid leaders, who would like to be fixed quickly. Either to prepare serenely next season, or to probe the market to find a replacement for it. In the meantime, it is with a “Grizi” relegated to the bench that the mattresses should face Las Palmas, Saturday evening in Liga.

According to the Spanish press, it is indeed the trend that emerges before this meeting of the 32nd day. Diego Simeone intends to align Alexander Sorho and Julian Alvarez. A decision related to the hesitations of the former three-color international? A priori not. But the Mâconnais can however see a sporting sanction.

“Griezmann is not in his best form”

Antoine Griezmann has not been decisive from nine matches in all competitions, his record being only a goal and a decisive pass in his last 14 appearances.
“He is not in his best form when he has always used us to be important and decisive”said his coach last Monday, quoted by
The team.

“We have seven matches and we must have the best players on the field”added the Argentinian technician. A way to underline the fact that “Grizi”, which has not been replacing since February 1, has lost its influence in the game. Could it convince him that his future is elsewhere? The answer should not be too long.
