After a few days of rest (since he has not been French international since last September), Antoine Griezmann found his teammates from Atlético on Monday in training. Diego Simeone's team took the plane for Los Angeles this Tuesday noon. The Madrid club has unveiled its group of 30 players for the 2025 club World Cup (FIFA requests a list of 26 to 50 players).
“Grizi” perhaps imagined leaving Atlético this summer in order to live his American Dream By signing in an MLS club. The Hugo Lloris Lafc and Olivier Giroud appeared when the 2018 world champion had an agreement with his leaders to terminate his contract this summer. Griezmann finally extended until 2027, probably accepting a drop in salary.
It is therefore in Los Angeles but still with Atlético that the fetish number 7 of “Cholo” will try to revive after a second part of the cataclysmic season (one goal in the last 21 matches). The Colchoneros start their World Cup with a shock against PSG, Sunday at the Pink Bowl de Pasadena (9 p.m. in France), before facing Seattle and Botafogo. All competition meetings are broadcast for free on Dazn's channels.
Griezmann while waiting for Théo Hernandez
The workforce of Atlético is complete. Clément Lenglet (who has just signed until 2028), Robin Le Normand and Thomas Lemar are adventure, just like an Angel Correa who will leave the club during this off -season. On the transfer market, Madrid leaders would have agreed with another French international, the left side Théo Hernandez, but we are far from an agreement with AC Milan, which received an offer of 30 million euros from al-Hilal. Alex Baena has still not signed.
Note that, according to El Desmarqueup to three close to each player can be invited to California in the coming weeks. Atlético will take care of their trip. The supporters, there will be few of them traveling to the Cité des Anges for the first round of the Club World Cup since the total cost of such a trip would be around 4,000 euros. Atlético settles in full Los Angeles by taking advantage of the installations of the Coliseum Memorial.
