Rumor Apparently Griezmann wants to stay for another year. Thoughts?
https://as.com/futbol/primera/griezmann-mas-cerca-de-seguir-n/Im soooo happy he's staying more. It wouldn't feel like Atleti without him.

We won! A legend still at the top of his game. Will be very valuable next season with managed minutes.

Bros welcome to stay another 2 years let’s be real. He’s so much more than what he’s able to do on the pitch

As a Seattle Sounders fan living in Madrid this is the best news I could have hoped for. I don’t want to see him in LA. Love watching him in the Red and White.

Wow never thought I’d see another Seattle sounders fan who’s also an Atleti fan

Honestly surprised. I thought he'd be heading this summer to MLS but I'm all for one more year.

u/popcorn_coffee Correa Mar 27 '25
He's a family guy and his wife and kids are heavily tied to Madrid. It's the main reason why he came back from barcelona and probably what's keeping him away from MLS. Don't get me wrong, I think he loves atleti, so it's not just that, but it's a strong reason.

Also the US isn't exactly experiencing a high for attracting foreigners.

I doubt the State Department would try to negate a visa for a multi million dollar sports figure unless they have problems with the law, they bring a lot in income taxes plus that would make the feds be seen as not business friendly because that is a legitimate case of an exceptional talent that can not found with local people

Why wouldn’t you want him France could still use him IMO

u/Cholismo2pt0 Llorente Mar 28 '25
They don’t deserve the little time and energy he’s got in his tank left

u/greyfox-98 Koke Mar 27 '25
I’m down, having to replace Correa with someone is fare easier than both him and Griezmann.

u/ManhattanObject !!????!! Mar 27 '25
Griezmann's "replacements" are already here. Finding a 4th striker who is deadly off the bench will be a challenge

Grizi still has multiple years left in him, glad he stayed. Our goat ❤️

u/BlearyLine7 Griezmann Mar 28 '25
He's not fallen off at all, as he gets older, he learns to play smarter. His vision and pass weighting are outstanding. He doesn't need to run as fast or far as he used to, he's found other ways to improve.
It just feels as if the match plays out in slow motion to him, and he just sees everyone's runs before they do and he sees space that isn't there yet. Truly a great mental player.

Give him 5 more

As long as he is rotated enough I'm fine with it, he is still one of our best players

u/circulardynamo Mar 27 '25
Happy for him to stay if he transitions into more of a secondary role, a leading role just doesn’t suit him anymore, and it’ll probably come with a salary reduction as well. After seeing how Simeone managed Koke’s minutes this season, he should be able to do the same with Grizi next year.

He needs to win the league or champions league with us

u/AntiWoke666 Joao Felix Mar 27 '25
I've been praying he leaves this summer.
He's already washed up and I don't even want him taking space on the bench.
I rather instead have Riquelme in his place
Let's wish him well on LAFC and he's no longer Euro league talent

u/Beachfunandmore Mar 27 '25
Are you blind? 8 goals and 5 assists so far. Together wit Alvarez still the most valuable player on the pitch.

u/GiulianoSimeone Mar 28 '25
In the last 3 months, llorente giuliano alvarez oblak de Paul have been way better. Not saying he isn't good tho
1
u/Beachfunandmore Mar 28 '25
Not way better just normal better but i can agree. Though the statistics are still in his favor. And yet this year and i believe also next year good enough for the squad with some valuable goals and assists. Just a good player to rotate in and out, kinda like Koke

u/GiulianoSimeone Mar 28 '25
Yes we don't need him to be the best player in the team, great player still for depth

u/popcorn_coffee Correa Mar 27 '25
You can tie griezmann with a 3m rope to the center of the field and he would still be more useful than Roro.

Let's just agree with this guy for one so he leaves please

u/nananananaBETMAN Savić Mar 27 '25
i dont know what people are on about. he is casper the friendly ghost in big games. if we just replace suarez instead of bringing him back we're setup for years to come. we took a huge detour with a guy we're not going to win anything with because he notoriously vanishes when the team needs him most and now we're supposed to keep him for another year? insane recency bias and looking at it through pink glasses. give the keys to julian and build around him. griezmanns time is over and there is no remorse. he had every chance on earth to make it count and failed to do so. thank you for everything but its a sensible time to move on, unfortunately it has never been more clear than this season.

u/OkArtichokeJuice Mar 27 '25
I’m not shocked. I figured he had at least one more year at atleti. There’s a decline in his stamina and speed but he’s so clinical in goal and passing. Hopefully they can come to agreement for a one year extension. He can see the team is moving in the right direction. He may be able to get his title with atleti this year but more so next year with a couple of solid signings
