Returning to Atlético de Madrid in 2021 after a bad experience at FC Barcelona, Antoine Griezmann has found his bearings at the same time as the love of the Madrid supporters. Under contract with the Mattresses until June 2026, the French international seems to be coming to the end of his adventure. So much so that many rumors suggest that he could leave earlier than expected and cross the Atlantic to join Major League Soccer. Olivier Giroud and Hugo Lloris have discussed the subject.
Having arrived this summer at Los Angeles FC after the end of his contract with AC Milan, Olivier Giroud has joined Hugo Lloris who left to discover the North American championship a few months earlier. The two men were the guests of the show ”
What Games! » broadcast on France 2. The opportunity for them to answer a question about a possible arrival of Antoine Griezmann. A subject that made Olivier Giroud smile, whose amused and second-degree response was quick to come: ”
Soon, soon, I think. It’s just the time difference there. It won’t be long. »
Lloris kicks into touch
And Hugo Lloris took over with a little more seriousness: ” More seriously, we don’t really know what’s going on. There are a lot of rumors indeed, but I don’t think we’re the right people to answer that question. We’ll see. The transfer window closes on Wednesday I think in the US. We don’t allow ourselves to answer that question, with regard to the club, but also with regard to Antoine who still belongs to Atlético Madrid. »
An answer that is ultimately rather evasive and which leaves the door clearly open to the possibility of a surprise arrival of “Grizou”. If the percentage of chances remains objectively low, Los Angeles would surely like to achieve the feat of hiring a third French world champion to strengthen its squad.
