Transfers: Antoine Griezmann may not be retained by Atlético Madrid for the 2022-23 season

The future of Antoine Griezmann at Atlético Madrid would have been at the heart of the discussions at the dinner organized Thursday evening between Miguel Angel Gil Marin, the boss of Colchonéros, and Mateo Alemany, the general manager of Barça. If this information were to be formalized, the current third in La Liga would save Antoine Griezmann’s salary, valued at around 18 million euros per year.

After two contrasting seasons at Barça, the French striker did not regain, in 2021-22, his formidable efficiency which was his trademark between 2014 and 2019. The Mâconnais does not hide it: he lived a year “difficile“. “I have my share of responsibility for the poor results and I assume it, said Antoine Griezmann Thursday at AS. There was a lack of goals on my side. I want to be important and decisive, it’s not normal to go so many games without scoring” For fifteen games, the Frenchman has not found the net. An eternity for a player of his standing.

Two and a half months of trouble, now what? “Griezmann is already at a turning point”
