Now aged 33, is Antoine Griezmann at the twilight of his career?

After a Euro 2024 in which he did not show his best with the Blues, Antoine Griezmann is about to start his last year of contract with Atlético de Madrid. Unless the French international decides to leave the Colchoneros a little earlier than expected.

Indeed, according to information from The Team As of this Friday, the former FC Barcelona player is reportedly being courted by Los Angeles FC. The Major League Soccer club, which already has Hugo Lloris and Olivier Giroud in its squad, could take advantage of “Grizou’s” relatively low release clause (ten million euros) to poach him.

Griezmann promised to MLS

The leaders of the franchise founded in 2014 have reportedly already offered a solid gold contract to the Mâcon native. By joining their team, he would become the second highest paid player in MLS, behind Lionel Messi (Inter Miami). One thing is certain: Antoine Griezmann seems determined to end his career across the Atlantic.

“My contract with Barcelona runs until June 2024 and after that I think it will be the right time to go to the United Stateshe declared in June 2021 in the columns of Figaro: I love this country, this culture, the NBA and the desire to discover guides me, but I also have a family to move. I would like to finish my career there but by being good on the field and winning the MLS. Not to arrive with nothing left in my legs and looking like nothing on the field. It would make no sense.
