[Saba Sports News] According to the latest reports from Spanish media, both Atletico Madrid and Antoine Griezmann have shown no intention of continuing their contract extension, and Griezmann is planning to move to the U.S. It is reported that MLS team Los Angeles FC is in contact with Griezmann, hoping to facilitate his departure from Atletico this summer. Several of his former teammates from the French national team, including Hugo Lloris and Olivier Giroud, currently play for Los Angeles FC. Although 33-year-old Griezmann is still performing well at Atletico, the high-intensity competition and dense schedule in European football take a toll on his body as he ages. The slower pace and less competitive pressure of MLS can help extend his career and allow him to continue enjoying football. Additionally, compared to European football, the MLS environment is more relaxed, with a lower frequency of matches, giving players more time to spend with their families. Los Angeles offers beautiful natural surroundings, a pleasant climate, and favorable living conditions, providing a more comfortable life for Griezmann’s family, which is another significant factor encouraging his potential move to the U.S.
