Antoine Griezmann makes huge decision on his Atletico Madrid future after talking up move to MLS - but France star will let La Liga giants have final say on summer plans

LaLiga

Deportivo Alaves

Atletico Madrid

<p>According to Spanish journalist Ruben Ulia (h/t <a href="https://www.football-espana.net/2025/03/26/antoine-griezmann-future-atletico" target="_blank">Football Espana</a>), Antoine Griezmann has reportedly made up his mind with regards to his future at Atletico Madrid with just a year remaining on his current contract, but will allow the Rojiblancos to take the final call this summer.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Griezmann is reportedly eager to stay at the Metropolitano for another season. While he can make that decision independently, the veteran World Cup winner is keen to avoid causing any issues for the club. Griezmann plans to meet with the Atletico higher-ups to discuss his future, ready to accept a potential departure if the club feels it's the best move this summer.</p><p>With Los Colchoneros potentially saving significantly on his salary, the club may look to move him on if they don't see him as a key contributor. Already, Julian Alvarez and Alexander Sorloth are set to lead the attack next season. It's unclear whether Griezmann would accept a reduced role as a squad player who could make the difference from the bench.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Griezmann is having a fine season, having scored 16 times and registered seven assists in 42 games across all competitions. Diego Simeone will be hoping to count on his form and experience in Atletico's upcoming fixture, in which they will face Espanyol on Saturday, March 29. Simeone's men are currently third in La Liga, four points behind rivals Real Madrid and Barcelona at the top of the table.</p>
