Antoine Griezmann has been a key figure at Atlético de Madrid since his return to the club. The French forward has shown his loyalty and affection towards the institution, consolidating himself as an idol for the Atlético fans. However, in recent weeks, an unexpected turn of events has appeared in his future, as Los Angeles FC, a Major League Soccer (MLS) team, is interested in signing him.
Griezmann, under contract until 2026, remains a key part of Simeone's scheme. His ability to score goals and assist his teammates have kept him in the spotlight, both in Spain and elsewhere. However, the appeal of MLS, and in particular the Los Angeles team, has begun to gain traction.
Carlos Vela Supports his Transfer
Mexican forward Carlos Vela, a close friend of Griezmann, has been one of the most notable voices on this issue. Recently, Vela expressed his wish to see Griezmann playing for Los Angeles FC. "I hope that one day Griezmann can be part of this league and this club," the player commented, highlighting the good relationship the two have, both inside and outside the field.
Vela also stressed that the lifestyle in the United States could be an attractive factor for Griezmann. The sporting culture and opportunities offered by the MLS are aspects that have begun to attract the the French striker's attention. This interest is no news; it'd been said before that Los Angeles FC had a persistent desire to sign him. However, Vela's statements have revived and reinforced those rumours.
Key Piece in the Team
Meanwhile, at Atlético de Madrid, Griezmann continues to win the hearts of fans with his performances. His goals and commitment to the team are evident in every game. Atlético fans hope to enjoy his magic and talent until at least 2026.
The interest from Los Angeles FC raises questions about Griezmann's future at Atletico. Could moving to MLS be a viable option? While the player has expressed his happiness in Madrid, opportunities can make their appearance at any time. The possibility of joining a club that is growing and earning recognition in the footballing landscape could be tempting.
Griezmann's path has been marked by important decisions throughout his career. From his time at Real Sociedad to his success at Atlético and his time at Barcelona, each choice has influenced his profession. Now, the possibility of joining Los Angeles FC is a new chapter that could start being written in his footballing life.
