The leaders of Matelassiers have identified the player capable of replacing Antoine Griezmann in the long term.

Even if he has been performing well for several months, Antoine Griezmann does not embody the future of Atlético Madrid. In order to anticipate his departure, the leaders of the Rojiblancos began looking for a new attacker. And their sights would have fallen on Santi Gimenez, the member of Feyenoord.

A Mexican to replace Griezmann?

Eduardo Inda, head of Okdiario media, told the show El Chiringuito that Atletico is preparing to make a decision for the Mexican international. “Atlético Madrid should be looking for a winger, but the priority at the moment is a center forward and they tell me it’s a Feyenoord player. He’s an Argentine player, nationalized Mexican, and his name is Santi Giménez. He is scoring one goal per game this season. »

In his first year with Feyenoord, Gimenez scored 15 goals as he helped his club win the Eredivisie last season. This season, Gimenez will discover the European Champions League. His performances will certainly be particularly watched.

As a reminder, Griezmann had been approached by Saudi teams for an expensive freelance job in the Gulf. The Mâconnais declined these requests, affirming that he remained loyal to Atlético and that his objective was to become the best director in the history of the club.
