Is Griezmann's Future Away from Atlético de Madrid?
The fate of Antoine Griezmann remains uncertain. According to recent reports, the French forward will hold a crucial meeting with Atlético de Madrid’s management in the coming days to decide his future. With his contract set to expire in June, he has the option to extend for another season—a move that both the club and Diego Simeone would welcome—but he could also choose to seek a new challenge.
Staying in Madrid or Moving to MLS?
The French star has been a key player for Simeone, featuring in 42 of Atlético's 44 matches this season and cementing his status as the club’s all-time top scorer. His continuity in the Spanish capital seems logical, especially since he and his family are comfortable in Madrid.

However, his admiration for American culture and his long-standing desire to play in MLS could steer his career in a different direction. Former French teammates Hugo Lloris and Olivier Giroud have reportedly been persuading him to join Los Angeles FC. In fact, the Californian club has already made contact with his camp, and an agreement could be finalized in the coming weeks if Griezmann decides to make the move.
A Crucial Decision for His Career
The final stretch of the season will be decisive in his choice. After Atlético de Madrid's painful elimination from the Champions League against Real Madrid, Griezmann is hoping the team can still secure a trophy, whether in LaLiga or the Copa del Rey. Since joining the club in 2014, he has won only three major titles, which could influence his decision to seek new challenges.}
In the coming days, Griezmann and Atlético de Madrid’s management are expected to reach a resolution. While the club will do everything possible to keep him, the prospect of an MLS adventure remains open. Will he continue making history in Europe, or will he take the leap to American soccer?
