Reports suggest that Antoine Griezmann’s departure from Atlético Madrid is reportedly complete, with the French World Cup winner set for a move to the USA after the current season concludes. This news comes shortly after Atlético’s derby loss to Real Madrid.
Sources indicate that the 2018 French World Cup champion has been granted permission to travel to Florida during the upcoming international break to sign a contract with Orlando City SC.
Speculation regarding the player’s future has been circulating for weeks. Griezmann had recently stated his intention to finish the season with Atlético, who are currently fourth in the league and preparing for a Champions League quarter-final clash against FC Barcelona and German coach Hansi Flick.
The confirmation of his impending move comes on the heels of Atlético’s 2-3 defeat to Real Madrid in the league derby on Sunday. Spanish media outlets have also corroborated reports of an imminent transfer.
