Antoine Griezmann seems unaffected by the passage of time, reaching 14 goals this season with the red-and-white team against Salzburg. Only Julián Alvarez surpasses him, having reached 16 goals thanks to his brace in the match against Bayer Leverkusen last week. Even so, there has been a lot of noise around the French striker, as it was considered that his level had dropped in recent weeks.
There have even been reports talking about a decision made by the player for next season, something that was said to be impactful. After leaving FC Barcelona, the Frenchman signed a contract until 2026 with Atlético de Madrid, so he still has a valid contract. Even so, his future seems to be in the air, as at the Metropolitano they will respect any decision the player makes this year.
Antoine Griezmann keeps the pace
In general, all the forwards of the colchonero team are showing a good level this season, all scoring important goals. The top scorer is Julián Alvarez (16),followed byAntoine Griezmann (14) and Alexander Sorloth (10), with Ángel Correa falling behind. However, the Argentine has scored goals that have saved points against Athletic Club, PSG, or Real Madrid, which is very important.
Despite this, only the Frenchman's future seems to be in the air, as it is not clear that he will continue at Atlético de Madrid after the summer. He has a contract until 2026, but there are reports suggesting he is determined to leave the Metropolitano and move to the MLS in America. Beyond those rumors, his level remains among the best, being the MVP in the last victory against Salzburg.
There is no decision
As of today, nothing suggests that Griezmann has indicated that this will be his last season with the red-and-white team, at least for now. The Frenchman maintains his goal-scoring instinct and continues to receive praise from his coach and rivals, which is very significant of his level. Evidently, he is not the same player he was a decade ago and doesn't have the same role on the field, but it is not something important.
Everything points to him surpassing 200 goals with the colchonero team, a figure that will be difficult to surpass in the club's history. Additionally, he wants to add more titles to his collection, being on the right track as he remains in the fight for all titles. There is a long way to go until summer, and the world champion is only interested in continuing to add and being able to touch metal with Simeone.
