Antoine Griezmann is reportedly set to leave Atletico Madrid and join Orlando City in the MLS. According to unconfirmed reports, a verbal agreement is in place for the 35-year-old French forward to move to the American club. The transfer is expected to occur in July, reportedly as a free transfer despite his contract with Atletico Madrid running until 2027.
Griezmann is said to be in the USA to finalize details, with a new contract expected to last two years with an option for an additional year. He would reportedly become the second-highest-paid player in the MLS, behind only Lionel Messi. Griezmann has spent his senior career in La Liga, playing for Real Sociedad, FC Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid, where he is the club's top scorer.
Orlando City currently sits in 13th place in the MLS Eastern Conference after five matches, with Swedish player Robin Jansson among its squad. Griezmann has scored 13 goals and provided four assists in 43 competitive matches this season for Atletico Madrid.
