Asked about a potential arrival in Saudi Arabia, Antoine Griezmann dropped a big clue about his next destination.
If Antoine Griezmann had a few approaches during the summer transfer window, notably from Saudi Arabia, the French striker’s summer turned out to be rather calm. Returning to AtlĂ©tico Madrid two years ago, where he found some color after a complicated spell at Barcelona, ​​the Mâconnais did not really want to change scenery during this summer transfer window.
During a press conference this Monday, the day before the prestigious friendly match between France and Germany in Dortmund, the vice-captain of the Blues was invited to react to the massive exodus of players to the Saudi Pro League. Although he respects and understands the choice of his counterparts who gave in to the Saudi sirens, Griezmann does not see himself, for his part, joining the wealthy oil country. He has another plan in mind…
“Continuing my career in MLS is my main goal”
“I completely understand the departures to Saudi Arabia. We see incredible sums, we earn a lot of money, but some want to secure their family and I find it normal to go there », declared the 32-year-old striker, and added: “Afterwards, will I have to go there? I have a family and continuing my career in MLS is my main goal. »
