Currently on loan to Atlético Madrid from FC Barcelona until 2023, Antoine Griezmann has been having a hard time in the past few months. Will he have to leave Colchoneros to make way for Cristiano Ronaldo? more
Griezmann, the indisputable Atlético
Recruited by Atletico Madrid in 2014, from Real Sociedad, Antoine Griezmann had made a strong start under Colchoneros, scoring 44 goals in two La Liga seasons. On loan from FC Barcelona since last summer, the French world champion has clearly lost his luster. Over the past year, he has scored only 3 small goals. Nothing in 2022. However, it seems that coach Diego Simeone still trusts him in his second year on loan. Could Cristiano Ronaldo’s potential arrival at another club in Madrid during this summer transfer window change the situation?
As Morata sacrificed to recruit CR7?
In the last hours, our colleagues from Brand He confirmed a rumor that Antoine Griezmann could be sacrificed for Cristiano Ronaldo this summer. He wouldn’t be the only one because another attacker, in the person of Alvaro Morata, could also bear the brunt of XXL’s unexpected arrival. After two seasons on loan at Juventus Turin, the Spain international could return to the old lady for good. At the same time, as a reminder, CR7 has strong roots in Madrid since his move to Real Madrid, and he wants to play in the next Champions League. So Atlético would be the perfect destination for the Portuguese.
But in fact, the issue is not so clear-cut, it is far from it. Firstly because Antoine Griezmann does not consider his future anywhere other than Colchoneros. Especially a few months before the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Then, because Diego Simeone, the Atletico coach, loves the Frenchman and is very dependent on him for next season. What complicates a CR7 file a little more?
