MADRID (AP) — antoine griezmann Atlético Madrid’s sporting director says a move to Major League Soccer is not imminent.
The 34-year-old former France international star has been linked with a move to Orlando City.
But Atletico sporting director Mateu Alemany said on Saturday: “He has this season and two more years with us. I don’t think there is any big news.”
“He’s going to stay with us and he’s not going to do anything more,” Alemany said before Griezmann provided the assist to beat Real Sociedad 3-2 in La Liga.
Griezmann, 34, plays for Atlético All-time leading scorer. He contributed to France’s victory at the 2018 World Cup and will retire from international football in 2024.
He has lost his starring role this year as manager Diego Simeone’s minutes have been controlled, but he has still managed to score 12 goals in all competitions this season.
Atlético will face Sociedad in the Copa del Rey final on April 18th. Atlético are also third in the Spanish league and will face Tottenham in the round of 16 of the Champions League next week.
