Griezmann more and more tempted by the idea of ​​finding Giroud and Lloris?

While he took everyone by surprise last month by announcing his international retirement, Antoine Griezmann could well surprise again soon for his club future. Very attached to Atlético Madrid, the 2018 world champion would nevertheless not be certain of continuing the adventure with the Colchoneros next season. The reason? Relevo affirms that he would increasingly consider continuing his career in MLS and more precisely at Los Angeles FC where he would find Olivier Giroud and Hugo Lloris.

“Grizou” has not yet made his decision and will still give himself time to think about it over the coming months. This will be the result of a personal decision and above all in consultation with his family. On the eve of the match against PSG, Diego Simeone did not fail to send him his thanks: “For him, I feel nothing but gratitude and I thank him. He was 23 when he came to us, and we grew up together. He has done magnificent things, with his selection, he has just passed the milestone of 400 matches with us (405 in all competitions), and it was therefore me who put him on the match sheet 400 times. So I have nothing but admiration for his work, his way of interpreting football and his way of living, as we saw with his classy exit from the selection. We will enjoy him for the time that remains. And if one day he were to leave, we would accompany him with great affection“.

Griezmann increasingly tempted by Los Angeles FC!

One thing is certain, the native of Mâcon will still be talked about in the coming weeks. It's no secret that he has never hidden his admiration for MLS. During an interview for As in December 2023, he admitted that this would be his destination after Europe: “Beyond Europe, what I would like later is the MLS (American League), I have always recognized that. But Atlético will almost one hundred percent be my last club in Europe. This is where I want to be, where I see myself happiest” he assured.

Top scorer in the history of the Colchoneros, the former number 7 of the Blues is eagerly awaited by his two former friends in the selection: “It will be his choice, but indeed, there is a lot of noise going around on the other side of the Atlantic” declared Hugo Lloris last month on Téléfoot before Olivier Giroud outbid: “We will be delighted to welcome him with open arms here in Los Angeles. We know that there have already been contacts. It would be great to get together all three with Hugo“. A desire that will perhaps become reality in the coming months…
