Griezmann, the turnaround?

Almost 34 years old (next March), and after his surprise retirement from the France team, Antoine Griezmann would be ready to turn his back on very high level football. The star player of Atlético is however under contract with the Colchoneros until 2026, but, as indicated Marcaa contract termination at the end of the season is expected. It is from next year that “Grizi” could experience its american dream while playing in MLS.

Ideally, Griezmann would like to find Hugo Lloris and Olivier Giroud at Los Angeles FC, but North American clubs are limited in foreign players and payroll and nothing says that the Californian team needs another thirty-year-old at the end. career in order to associate him with the (already) disappointing Giroud. What does it matter if it is precisely the inestimable duo of the Euro 2016 finalists, the 2018 world champions and the 2022 world vice-champions…

Griezmann under Mourinho?

Can the delirious Turkish football attract the native of Mâcon? In any case, Griezmann’s name is now mentioned at Fenerbahçe, the team led by José Mourinho which has achieved the last XXL transfer windows. The Canaries are second in the Turkish Super Lig behind Galatasaray with goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic, former Strasbourg player Alexander Djiku, midfielders Fred and Sofyan Amrabat, number 10 Dusan Tadic, former Bleuet Allan Saint-Maximin, ex- Marseillais Cengiz Ünder and Edin Dzeko and Youssef En-Nesyri scorers!

If Fener qualifies for the Champions League (only the Turkish champion is directly qualified, the second having to enter the second qualifying round), Griezmann will perhaps have an offer on the table in order to discover a new championship and raise a major challenge. But Atlético’s number 7 may no longer have the strength… He lacked determination (yet it is one of his strengths) during Atlético’s last matches, notably against PSG in C1 .
