Griezmann reverses his decision.

Antoine Griezmann is closer to committing to Atletico Madrid, following earlier speculation about his potential departure.

Griezmann had previously expressed a desire to play in Major League Soccer (MLS) after the end of this season.

According to AS , Griezmann's representative recently met with Atletico Madrid's management. Both sides agreed to resume contract negotiations, clearly demonstrating a willingness to reach a mutual agreement.

This move marks a significant turning point, as both Griezmann and the Spanish capital club have expressed their desire to continue their partnership into the 2025/26 season. In fact, the French striker's contract with Atletico runs until June 2026, but at the end of last year, Griezmann expressed his intention to play in the US as early as summer 2025.

Atletico were initially willing to terminate Griezmann's contract early to allow him to move to MLS. However, the French striker's impressive performance in the 2024/25 season reversed everything. Atletico Madrid wanted to keep Griezmann and were willing to extend his contract, which swayed the French forward.

The latest meeting suggests Griezmann and Atletico Madrid are heading towards a positive outcome, promising to keep him at the Wanda Metropolitano stadium for the foreseeable future.

Previously, Griezmann seriously considered leaving Atletico, after feeling his role at the club was no longer what it used to be. The recent brilliance of Giuliano Simeone and Alvarez at Atletico has made Griezmann seriously think about his future.

Nevertheless, Griezmann's consistent top form means he remains a crucial element in Atletico's playing style.
