Griezmann no MLS: renewal with Atlético Madrid until 2027

Antoine Griezmann will not leave Atlético Madrid. After weeks of rumors about a possible move to MLS, the French striker has decided to continue his adventure in Spain, renewing his contract with the Colchoneros until 2027. A choice of heart and belonging, which also matured thanks to the special relationship with Diego Simeone, who proved decisive in the number 7’s decision.

In spite of a slight drop in performance in the second half of the season, Griezmann has once again proven his value and weight within the group: 16 goals and 7 assists among all competitions this season speak volumes. But beyond the numbers, it is his leadership in the locker room that makes him an irreplaceable figure for Atlético.

According to Relevo, a Spanish media outlet, the Argentine coach has repeatedly reiterated his confidence in the Frenchman, considering him a staple not only for the present, but also in view of future challenges, such as the upcoming Club World Cup. Griezmann, for his part, has also accepted a significant pay cut in order to stay with the team with which he has built much of his career.

Who arrived in Madrid in 2014, Griezmann has become an icon for fans rojiblancos. After a spell at Barcelona, his return in 2021 sealed his deep connection with the club and Simeone’s philosophy. The renewal until 2027 confirms the Frenchman’s desire to close the circle there where he really feels at home: at Wanda Metropolitano.

No USA, no radical changes: Griezmann still wants to fight, score and win with Atlético.
