Overview

  • Sporting director Mateu Alemany said Griezmann “will continue with us,” adding there is “nothing new” on a departure.
  • Griezmann remains under contract with Atletico Madrid until June 2027, according to Alemany’s on-air remarks.
  • Orlando City hold the MLS discovery rights to Griezmann and are pursuing a July move, according to multiple reports.
