Antoine Griezmann seems to be facing a departure from Spain. The French attacker of Atlético Madrid can leave the capital for a bargain price. A clause in his contract would come into effect on July 1.
Clause worries Atlético: is Griezmann this summer’s bargain?
According to the French L’Équipe, Griezmann can just become the big transfer of this summer. The medium reports that the 118-time international of Les Bleus can be picked up from Atlético this summer for a relative pittance. And that while the contract of the 2018 world champion will continue until mid-2025. In addition, an option has been added, allowing the Madrilenians to extend his contract by one year.
Nevertheless, Atlético no longer controls Griezmann’s future. A clause would come into effect this summer. As a result, the attacker can be picked up for an amount of 25 million euros. It suddenly makes the Frenchman a popular target of international top clubs.
Griezmann had an excellent season at Atlético. In all official matches, the left leg scored sixteen goals, while he gave nineteen assists. Partly for this reason, trainer Diego Simeone does not want to lose his attacker at all. The Argentinian tries to keep the veteran on board.
Griezmann himself does not necessarily have to leave La Liga either. Nevertheless, according to French reports, the attacker is pressing his cards to his chest for the time being. Paris Saint-Germain would see the world champion as a suitable candidate to replace Kylian Mbappé, who seems to be heading for a departure from Paris. In his own country, Griezmann can earn a multiple of his current salary.
Due to the leaked transfer fee, it also seems a matter of time before other clubs will report to Griezmann and his entourage. As a result, for the first time in fourteen years, he could look outside Spain.
Atlético Madrid joins a list of interested clubs for Giménez
Santiago Giménez is popular with various clubs after his first season at Feyenoord. Next in line is Atlético Madrid.
The Mexico international is being closely watched by Los Colchoneros, according to his agent Morris Pagniello. “It is true that Atlético are interested. I think it could be one of the best options,” the Italian told Mundo Deportivo.
In addition to the Spanish superpower, the ten-time international was previously linked to Benfica. Pagniello gives a few more names. He added, “More clubs have inquired about him, including Napoli, Inter and clubs from the English Premier League.”
In his debut season in Rotterdam, 22-year-old Gimenez played in 32 league matches. The striker scored 15 goals. At Feyenoord, the left leg still has a contract until mid-2026. Last summer, the team from Rotterdam took over the Mexican from Cruz Azul for approximately four million euros.
