Griezmann, the third-ranked victim of the Menaldo era's Ballon, canceled negotiations for the U.S. by a reversal → re-signing with Atletico
Antoine Griezmann reversed his trip to the United States, deciding to stay in Atletico Madrid.

Spain's Lelebo said on the 16th (Korea time) "Griezmann will continue to play for Atletico in the future, and he may play for two more seasons." Griezmann will remain with the team, and if both sides agree, it is likely he will extend his contract with Atletico until the summer of 2027. What is certain is that there will be no 'Greezman transfer' in the coming months. This is because his transfer was ruled out this summer," he reported.

Griezmann, born in 1991, is a legendary player who has played world class since the mid-2010s. Griezmann, who grew up as a quality winger in Real Sociedad, met manager Diego Simeone and improved his skills when he moved to Atletico. Originally winged, Simeone used Griezmann as a second striker, and the decision brought out the best performance.

Griezmann was also an ace in France. He led France to second place at Euro 2016 and presented France with the World Cup trophy at the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Griezmann's contribution was greater than any other player in France.




In a different era, the Ballon d'Or could have gone to Griezmann, but in 2016, Griezmann was third behind Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. In 2018, he also had to settle for third place behind Luka Modric and Ronaldo. Griezmann was also a victim of the Menaldo era, such as Franco Ribery and Wesley Snader.

Afterwards, he was stigmatized as the all-time traitor in the process of leaving Atletico for Barcelona, but fans forgave him because it was Griezmann who returned to Atletico. Griezmann is trying to win the championship as he plays his prime again at Atletico.

However, after this season, there were reports that Griezmann could leave Atletico. Relevo journalist Matteo Moreto said in March "I heard there will be a very important meeting between Atletico and Griezmann within this March to determine the future of the player. "It appears that he wants to leave European football for his family and go to MLS in the U.S.," he reported.

In fact, Griezmann was in good hands in negotiations with Los Angeles FC, where French legends Olivier Giroud and Hugo Lloris are located. Atletico were in a position to fully respect the decision of legend Griezmann. Griezmann seemed certain of a transfer as his performance declined in the second half, but things have changed 180 degrees.

Lelebo added "Griezmann's performance this season has fallen somewhat, but Simeone still considers him a key player in the locker room. The coach tried to leave the player, and the player followed suit. If Griezmann stays for two more seasons, he will also cut his salary so that he can play for the team."

Will Griezmann be able to win the European Champions League (UCL) with the league he so badly wants at Atletico. There are two more chances left.
