A love story in two stages. Revealed at Real Sociedad, Antoine Griezmann crossed a CAP by joining Atlético de Madrid in the summer of 2014. A 5 -year -old passage marked by the final of the 2016 Champions League and the coronation at the Europa 2018 League. Party at FC Barcelona between 2019 and 2021, Antoine Griezmann had to fight to find the hearts of Colchoneros supporters, but he succeeded. Still efficient last season, the native of Mâcon scored 17 goals and 9 offerings in 56 games.

However, its status has evolved. Less often holder (43 matches out of 56), he was mainly replaced (30 matches out of 56, only 13 played in full). The arrival of Julian Alvarez rebatted the French cards and striker even became a replacement during the Club World Cup. Holder at the start of the competition during the 4-0 defeat against Paris Saint-Germain, he saw Alexander Sørloth pass him against Seattle (3-1) and Botafogo (1-0).

A year and departure

Extended from two years to June, Antoine Griezmann will start the next exercise in a fairly unique situation for him as the Spanish media points out Marca. For the first time since he wears the mattress jersey, he was told that he will not hold at the start of the season. A situation he accepted at the time of his extension. The 2018 world champion will therefore be keen to reverse the situation and grab the maximum playing time.

In addition, if his contract with Atlético de Madrid lasts for two years, Antoine Griezmann should not drag on and go to the end of his lease. Indeed, it is expected to leave in the summer of 2026 to launch a new stage in his career. For a long time interested in Major League Soccer, Antoine Griezmann could then take the jump. Be that as it may, next season promises to be special for the French whose Madrid future seems to have already been woven by a spider.
