After the French team, it is Atletico Madrid that the 2018 world champion could leave at the end of the season.
The announcement made by Antoine Griezmann on Monday made the hearts of French supporters bleed. By revealing that he had decided to end his international career, the 2018 world champion triggered a wave of sadness among fans of the Blues. The blow was also hard for Didier Deschamps and all the French staff. Conversely, in Madrid, we have continued to rejoice since Monday at the decision of the Mâconnais.
“This will allow us to rest more and I hope he continues to be as always because he is very important to us”confided Diego Simeone, the Madrid coach, adding: “I find it wonderful that a player like Antoine, who understands that he has already given everything to his selection, makes this decision. It speaks well of him, of his human and sporting quality. »

But according to Revelo, Atletico Madrid could quickly become disillusioned. Because Antoine Griezmann’s adventure with the Colchoneros could also end sooner than expected. While he is under contract until June 2026, the former Barcelona player is reportedly considering leaving next summer to join MLS where he dreams of ending his career. Several American franchises are said to be in the running, including Los Angeles FC, where his friends Hugo Lloris and Olivier Giroud play.
To this end, Antoine Griezmann’s decision to leave the France team does not constitute good news for the Colchoneros. The prospect of the 2026 World Cup which will be played in the United States could indeed have worked in Atletico’s favor since it could have been tempted to stay in Europe to prepare as best as possible for what seemed likely to be its last great competition.
