The Atlético de Madrid has achieved a move that seemed unlikely just a few weeks ago: Antoine Griezmann will continue wearing the red and white shirt beyond next summer. The French forward, who had tempting offers on the table from abroad, especially from Major League Soccer, has chosen to extend his contract with the club until 2027, a decision that has even surprised the most optimistic sectors of the red and white environment.
Antoine Griezmann will not leave Atlético de Madrid
The French attacker, a key piece in Simeone's scheme, had been the subject of constant rumors about a possible move to American soccer, where several teams had shown serious interest. His performance, despite the team's ups and downs, has remained decisive, and his influence in the locker room continues to be unquestionable. The potential American adventure was seen as a logical stage for the final stretch of his career, but Griezmann has decided to prioritize the sporting aspect over the economic one.
From the offices of the Metropolitano, they quickly moved to secure his continuity. Although the agreement was reached with complete discretion, the news has caused a stir among the fans, who almost took his departure for granted. The commitment shown by the French international reinforces the ambition of the project for the coming years, in addition to sending a clear message to the rest of the squad.
Griezmann, who is already one of the club's all-time top scorers, will continue to build on his legacy at Atlético. The new contract not only ensures his presence in the locker room but also strengthens the emotional bond he has with fans who have always considered him an idol. His decision to stay is seen as an act of loyalty in an era marked by million-dollar transfers.
