Atletico Madrid’s record goalscorer Antoine Griezmann is traveling to the United States to finalize a free transfer to Orlando City, marking the end of his legendary European career this summer.
Antoine Griezmann has reached a verbal agreement to join Orlando City on a free transfer when his Atletico Madrid contract concludes this July.
The 35-year-old forward, who is the club’s all-time leading scorer, will use the current international break to formalize terms in Florida.
Despite interest in a March move, Griezmann opted to stay in Spain to chase Copa del Rey and Champions League silverware.
Atletico Madrid will not demand a transfer fee for the Frenchman, honoring his immense contribution to the club.
Sporting director Mateu Alemany is now tasked with finding a replacement as Griezmann prepares to fulfill his long-held dream of playing in the MLS.
Reflecting on his commitment before this final decision, Griezmann previously stated, “The idea is to stay until the end, and then others can speak.”
