Yesterday, the Spanish press circulated information that Atletico’s leader Antoine Griezmann would stay with the team for another year. However, it seems the Frenchman himself was not aware of this.
Details: According to L’Équipe, the news about a two-year contract extension with the possibility of prolonging it for another year is false. The player has yet to respond to Atletico’s offer, and Griezmann’s agent, Sevan Karian, told the aforementioned source that Antoine was quite surprised by these reports.
It is emphasized that Griezmann’s contract with Atletico is valid not until 2026, as previously reported, but until the end of this year. Also, the Frenchman does not intend to forgo half of his current salary, as reported by the Spanish media.
Reminder: Among the likely options for the player’s career continuation is the American Los Angeles.
