Shockwaves in Spain: Antoine Griezmann is reportedly on the verge of leaving Atlético de Madrid to join Orlando City SC in MLS. A sudden departure that would leave a massive void within the Colchoneros squad.
Is Antoine Griezmann about to take the leap? According to The Athletic, Orlando City SC are in advanced talks to sign the Atlético de Madrid forward. The goal: make him their new designated player. The transfer window closes on March 26 — just one month away. Explosive timing that could force Grizou to leave Madrid in the middle of the season.
Atlético’s Urgent Search for a Griezmann Replacement
Orlando are pushing to finalize the deal quickly, but a summer move (July 13 – September 2) appears more logical. Turning 35 on March 21, Griezmann faces a huge decision: fulfill his American dream or finish the season as the leader of the Colchoneros.
Despite reduced playing time, the Frenchman remains influential: 12 goals, 2 assists, and a masterclass against FC Barcelona in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final (4-0). With a trophy within reach and Real Madrid already eliminated, Madrid can still dream.
But will that be enough to keep Griezmann while America calls? To compensate, Diego Simeone is already looking toward Paris Saint-Germain. His target: Lee Kang-in. Versatile and creative, the South Korean is a top priority for the summer. Paris refused his departure this winter, but the trail remains hot. The question is whether the two clubs can reach an agreement.
