In recent hours, information from the United States claims that Antoine Griezmann is coveted by Orlando City, who would like to recruit him before the end of March. Information that makes sense as the former French international has never hidden his desire to play on the other side of the Atlantic for the end of his career. But now, is Griezmann at the end of his career, when he has 12 goals in 35 appearances this season?
Asked about this hypothetical departure of the 34-year-old striker to Florida, Enrique Cerezo, the president of Atlético, did not hide his surprise after this news on Tuesday: “This morning, when the information was announced, it really surprised me. He is an Atlético de Madrid player and is very popular with the fans. He is an essential player, as we have seen in recent matches. We don’t know anything. But the important thing is tonight’s match.» The Spanish club hosts Club Bruges in the second leg of the Champions League this Tuesday (6:45 p.m., 3-3 in the first leg).
