La Liga
Monterrey wants to make a statement in the market with a signing that could shake the foundations of international football: Antoine Griezmann. The Monterrey club has set its sights on the Frenchman from Atlético de Madrid, with the firm intention of convincing him to leave Europe to join their ambitious sporting project in Liga MX, as reported from Mexico.
A “parade” of names will be heard in the coming days for the reinforcement sought by @Rayados.

Rayados' board is willing to invest part of the money received from the sale of Nelson Deossa to Real Betis to make a move for Griezmann, who still has a contract in force until 2027. The estimated value of the attacking midfielder is around 18 to 20 million euros, a high but manageable figure for a club used to major signings.
Monterrey aims to sign Antoine Griezmann
In Atlético de Madrid, they would not see his departure as a bad thing, as the club is looking to free up space in the squad to bring in a new center forward. Furthermore, the arrivals of players like Álex Baena and Thiago Almada threaten to relegate the Frenchman to a secondary role in Simeone's team. At 34 years old, Griezmann still maintains a high level of competitiveness, as evidenced by his 17 goals and 9 assists in 56 matches last season.
On the other hand, Monterrey wants to add a high-profile name to a squad already featuring figures like Sergio Canales, Sergio Ramos, and Óliver Torres. The potential arrival of Griezmann would not only strengthen the attack but also send a clear message of ambition both within Mexico and beyond.
Though formal negotiations have not yet begun, Monterrey's interest is real and strong. Griezmann, who has achieved everything in Europe and with France, could find in Liga MX a new professional challenge... and a final high-profile adventure before retirement.
