A few months after the announcement of his international retirement, Antoine Griezmann continues to miss the French team. One of his former partners in blue would like him to come back.

His international retirement was one of the significant facts of the year 2024 for the French team. Antoine Griezmann announced the end of his adventure with the Blues but the Mâconnais was not forgotten.

Media partner of the French team, TF1 continues to think of Griezmann. While had a French international on hand in interview, in this case Jonathan Clauss, journalist Thomas Mekhiche could not help asking a question about “Grizou” in Téléfoot.

Antoine Griezmann, “it would be beautiful”

Unsurprisingly, Jonathan Clauss was favorable to a possible return from Antoine Griezmann to the French team for the 2026 World Cup. But the side of the OGC Nice took care to specify this: “It would be beautiful, it would be exceptional, but I have no information.”

Diplomat, Jonathan Clauss also “yes” if he was asked if Kylian Mbappé was currently the best player in the world. On the other hand, he used his joker when Thomas Mekhiche asked him if he thought he was in the next list of Didier Deschamps. For the former Marseillais, his 14th and last selection dates back to the defeat against Italy (1-3) in the League of Nations. It was the 136th and (to date?) The penultimate selection of Antoine Griezmann, who announced his international retirement shortly after the victory against Belgium (2-0).

“Released” from the Blues, Antoine Griezmann is currently making a big season with Atlético de Madrid, which is in the fight for the title in Liga, with FC Barcelona and Real Madrid. In the coming days, the Colchoneros will also face Barça in the semi-finals of the King's Cup and Real in the round of 16 of the Champions League. Not sure that Griezmann has a lot of time to think of the Blues …
