The possibility of Antoine Griezmann leaving Atlético de Madrid has gained strength in recent hours, after Al Hilal from Saudi Arabia came in with a proposal that could change the course of the French forward. The Asian team, at the express request of Simone Inzaghi, aims to add the 2018 World Cup champion to form a formidable attack alongside Marcos Leonardo, with a €20 million offer being prepared that could persuade the rojiblanco board.
Griezmann, whose contract extends until 2027, recently renewed his bond with the colchonero club. However, recent movements in the squad and his decline in performance have raised doubts about his role this season. The additions of Thiago Almada and Álex Baena limit his space in Simeone's starting eleven, and the pursuit of new profiles like Giacomo Raspadori reinforces the notion that Atlético would be open to considering offers for their star.
Al Hilal wants to sign Antoine Griezmann
From Arabia, in addition to the transfer fee, they are preparing an economic contract difficult to match in Europe, which could entice the 33-year-old footballer if he believes his cycle at the elite level is coming to a close. From a sporting perspective, the Frenchman has not been as decisive in recent months, and the Madrid club needs to free up salary space if they aim to make more signings before the market deadline.
Everything will depend on the player's decision, who has expressed his love for the club, but may consider the new scenario. Atlético, on its part, is weighing the pros and cons of an operation that, though emotionally painful, could be timely in terms of sports and finances.
