The future of Antoine Griezmann at Atlético de Madrid remains a hot topic in the transfer market. Although the French forward is a key piece for Diego Simeone, the latest reports suggest he could take a new direction at the end of the season.
The journalist specializing in transfers, Matteo Moretto, has provided the latest update on the situation of the red-and-white striker, stating that his possible move to MLS remains a concrete option.
Matteo Moretto: "It Will Only Be Griezmann's Decision"
The possible departure of Antoine Griezmann from Atlético de Madrid is a topic that has been discussed a lot in recent months. Recently, in an article for Relevo, the famous Italian journalist Matteo Moretto addressed this topic.
"The Frenchman is essential for Simeone, but many within Atlético know that at the end of the year the Little Prince may leave for MLS. It's a rumor that continues to gain strength. It will only be the footballer's decision," the journalist assured.
The striker, who has participated in 22 goals this season (15 goals and seven assists), remains the team's offensive reference, but there are doubts about his long-term continuity. Against Valencia, he was key in Atlético de Madrid's two goals, initiating the play for the first and providing the assist for the second.
Simeone Reinforces Confidence in Griezmann
Despite these rumors, Diego Simeone has no doubts about Griezmann's importance in his scheme. In one of his latest press conferences, the Argentine coach made it clear that he continues to fully trust the French forward.
"He's an extraordinary, differential player who gives us a leap in quality. Of course, there are matches where he's not at his best, as happens to everyone. I absolutely trust him," stated Cholo.
The Atlético de Madrid coach has reiterated that, until further notice, Griezmann remains indisputable in his starting eleven. The French forward has shown great chemistry with his new partner, Julián Alvarez, the Argentine who is the team's top scorer. Additionally, he has also connected very well with Sorloth, a player who is being essential for Simeone as a game-changer.
