Antoine Griezmann will take the management of the United States in a few days. But it will not be to settle there for one or two years.

The French striker will compete in the Club World Cup with Atlético de Madrid, where he will cross the Paris Saint-Germain road from June 16. And it will therefore not be his last competition with the Colchoneros.

Griezmann, it's off for two years

Antoine Griezmann arrived at the end of his lease with the club of the Spanish capital. A departure in MLS seemed to take shape, to live an end of career in the same championship as Hugo Lloris and Olivier Giroud. Clubs in the Near East would also have made him soft eyes.

“Grizou” comes to extend the adventure with Atlético, his heart club. He resigned this Monday, for two additional seasons, until 2027.

The 2018 world champion will try to win a first major title in Spain with the Matelassiers, after having failed in his Liga quest this season. He still has a Europa League at his record, won at the expense of OM (3-0) in 2018.
