Atlético: Antoine Griezmann explains why he stayed

While the 2026 World Cup will be played this summer in the United States from June 11, the French team will try to find a third star. This should be done without Antoine Griezmann (35) who has not been called up since September 9, 2024 and a 2-0 victory for the Blues against Belgium. After Atlético de Madrid qualified for the semi-finals of the Champions League, he was asked about a possible return to the Blues.

Asked by Canal +Antoine Griezmann who will be in the United States, because he has signed up with the Florida franchise of Orlando City, has confirmed his presence for matches of the French team but rather in the role of supporter: “I would have my jersey in the stands with my son, but no, I wish them the best. These are number one favorites and I would be with them to the hilt.»
