It has been two months since Antoine Griezmann extended his contract with Atlético de Madrid, thus linked to the Colchoneros until June 2027. A strong gesture when the interested party was sent by rumor across the Atlantic, where the MLS has been making his eyes for many years already. And yet the 2018 world champion indeed clings to the highest level.
After a minimalist truce that saw the mattress makers take part in the club World Cup-with an elimination from the first phase certainly-Atlético started its summer preparation with a short setback conceded in front of Porto last weekend. Before being much more conquering this Saturday against Newcastle.
Faced with the Magpies, the Madrid won 2-0. Thanks to a realization by Julian Alvarez on the return from the locker room (50e) and a goal from Antoine Griezmann in stride, just two minutes after coming into play (63e). A real golazo that is more! Well served by Alexander Sorho, the Mâconnais deceived his world by sliding an exterior suddenly as soon as the balloon was controlled. Great art.
Griezmann, still speaking stats
Capable of such bullying, Antoine Griezmann, from the age of 34, has certainly not said his last word. While the competition promises to be noted this year again among the Colchoneros of Diego Simeone, the former tricolor international did not choose the ease by extending his lease in Madrid.
The more exotic destinations, a priori, will wait. This week, the Mexican club Monterrey came to information, obviously ready to pay the 20 million euros in the boy's current valuation. Without follow -up, however. Last season, despite an increasingly limited playing time, Antoine Griezmann still accumulated 17 goals and 9 assists. Everything except negligible.
