The French striker Atlético de Madrid Antoine Griezmannwhose departure to Orlando City of the MLS was the subject of rumors in recent weeks, confirmed this Tuesday that his “dream and goal” is to remain at Atlético de Madrid, at least until the end of the season.
Asked by the Movistar network at the end of the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Tottenham, which ended with a 5-2 victory and a goal from him, Griezmann clarified his intention for the peace of mind of the Colchoneros fans: “I’m very good here, I’m enjoying it a lot, I think what I do on the field speaks for me, we’ll see, but the idea is that, to go to the end.”
Regarding the Copa del Rey final against Real Sociedad on April 18 in Seville, and advancing as much as possible in the Champions League, Griezmann stated: “That is my dream, my goal and I hope we can achieve something great.”
The name of Griezmann, 34, has been mentioned in the media as a possible signing for the Florida club before the MLS transfer window closes at the end of March.
Griezmann, world champion with France in 2018, has a contract with Atlético until June 2027.
Atlético’s all-time top scorer (211 goals), the Frenchman has not won a title with the red and whites since 2018, before his unfortunate time at FC Barcelona and his subsequent return.
