Antoine Griezmann Commits to Atlético Madrid with Contract Extension to 2027

On June 2, 2025, Atlético Madrid announced that French football star Antoine Griezmann has signed a one-year contract extension, securing his future with the club until June 2027. The 34-year-old forward, who rejoined Atlético in 2022 after a loan spell from Barcelona, has been a pivotal figure for the team, scoring 16 goals and providing nine assists across 53 appearances in the 2024-25 season. Despite a challenging season with only eight LaLiga goals, Griezmann’s technical brilliance and intelligence on the pitch remain undeniable.

The extension offers financial relief for Atlético, allowing them to spread Griezmann’s wage package over two years, aligning with LaLiga’s squad spending limits. This move comes amidst speculation of a potential MLS transfer, as Griezmann had previously expressed his desire to end his career in the U.S. However, his loyalty to Atlético, where he has won the Europa League and UEFA Super Cup, prevails for now. Fans celebrated the news on social media, with posts calling him a “champ for life.” Griezmann’s commitment strengthens Atlético’s squad as they prepare for the inaugural 32-team FIFA Club World Cup in June 2025.
