UEFA Champions League
Atletico de Madrid is preparing to bid farewell to one of its recent great legends. Antoine Griezmann is getting closer to ending his time as a rojiblanco and heading to the MLS in the coming months.
The French forward, a key piece for years in the colchonero project, has already taken firm steps to define his future away from the Metropolitano.
Griezmann heads to the United States
In the next few hours, Antoine Griezmann will travel to the United States to negotiate and finalize his new contract with Orlando City. The agreement is well advanced, and everything indicates that it will be made official after the World Cup.
The American club has made a strong commitment to the Frenchman, who sees favorably starting a new stage in a growing league with less competitive pressure.
At 35 years old, the attacker believes it is time to change the environment after a high-level career in Europe.
A departure conditioned by titles
Just a few weeks ago, his departure seemed imminent, but Atlético de Madrid's good form in key competitions temporarily changed the scenario.
The team is still alive in the Champions League and has performed well in the Copa del Rey, where they are already in the final, leading Griezmann to postpone his final decision. His objective is clear: to leave while leaving a lasting memory.
The Frenchman wants to end his chapter at the club with a title, thus crowning his trajectory as a rojiblanco.

The end of an era at Atlético
Antoine Griezmann's departure will mark the end of an important cycle at Atlético de Madrid. The forward has been one of the most decisive players of the club in the last decade.
His exit will force the sports management to seek solutions in the market to cover a significant loss both in sports and emotional aspects.
Meanwhile, the player is already looking towards his next destination. Orlando City awaits him, but first, he wants to bid farewell to Atlético de Madrid as he deserves: competing at the highest level and, if possible, lifting one last title.
The summer will mark the end of a historic era and open a new chapter in the career of one of the recent great names in European football.
