"Antoine has this season and two more years of contract with us, and he's absolutely focused on what's coming up. Director of football Mateu Alemany emphasized Griezmann's commitment to Atlético Madrid despite transfer speculation, highlighting the player's contract status and current focus on upcoming competitions."
"I was quite clear the other day, when I was asked about it. I'm not going to keep talking about it ... We don't know what's going to happen. I'm not going to repeat how important Antoine is to us, we know that. Diego Simeone acknowledged Griezmann's right to choose his future while emphasizing the player's significance to the club and declining further public discussion on the matter."
"Antoine is in a place where he deserves to choose what he wants to do given his contribution to the club. Simeone recognized Griezmann's agency in determining his future, reflecting the respect and appreciation for the striker's substantial contributions to Atlético Madrid throughout his tenure."
Antoine Griezmann has delayed a potential transfer to MLS club Orlando City for this season following Atlético Madrid's advancement to the Copa del Rey final scheduled for April 18. Orlando City made an offer conditional on Griezmann's move before the March 26 MLS transfer window deadline, with the club acknowledging that future windows might present other alternatives. Atlético Madrid's management and Diego Simeone prefer Griezmann to remain for the season to provide him an optimal farewell opportunity, including a chance to win a major trophy. Griezmann, Atlético's all-time leading scorer with 210 goals, has yet to win a major title with the club despite his contract extending until 2027. The club also faces Champions League commitments against Tottenham in March.
