According to a report from The Athletic, the French striker has received offers from MLS, specifically Orlando City, with a very specific deadline set for the offer: March 26, when the US transfer window closes.<\/p>\n<p>This is a very attractive offer for players, both financially and in terms of living. However, there is one obvious drawback. If he decides to accept it, he will have to leave Atletico Madrid before the end of the season. And that changes everything.<span class=\"xai-icon\"\/>Griezmann&#8217;s big wish is to leave the club on good terms. The striker has the Copa del Rey as his main goal and dreams of ending his time at the Metropolitano by winning the title. Atl\u00e9tico are so close to reaching the final and the possibility of lifting the trophy and saying goodbye weighs heavily on his reflection. The dynamics of the Champions League also promote continuity.<span class=\"xai-icon\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The club is adamant that it has no intention of leaving the team with one less player, with the Copa del Rey and Champions League on the line. Coach Diego Simeone is also aware of the situation. The Argentine coach supports his continued participation and does not want to lose him, considering him an important player in the role given to him this season, but understands that the final decision rests with the player.<span class=\"xai-icon\"\/><\/p>\n<p>That role is just another factor that influences the decision. Griezmann is not completely satisfied with his current situation. He accepts all of Simeone&#8217;s decisions with professionalism and believes he should still start more regularly and have a more important role than he envisaged in certain sections of the season.<span class=\"xai-icon\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\">End the season with Atl\u00e9tico<\/h2>\n<p>The Frenchman therefore faces a complex decision: prioritize stability and the possibility of competing for the title until the end, or accept an MLS offer now and start a new chapter in the United States.<span class=\"xai-icon\"\/>Griezmann is likely to finish the season at Atletico. However, we cannot rule out any scenario. Especially if the team suffers a poor result in the next important match on March 3rd. A setback at the Camp Nou could make matters worse and lead to an early exit.<span class=\"xai-icon\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The decision is clearly in Antoine&#8217;s hands. And now the clock is running against him.<span class=\"xai-icon\"\/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marca.com\/en\/football\/spanish-football\/2026\/02\/26\/69a0245046163f087d8b45c9.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TThe situation surrounding Antoine Griezmann&#8217;s future is once again at the center of discussion.
