Antoine Griezmann will officially leave Atlético at the end of this summer, with the French forward confirming he will depart the club at the conclusion of the 2025/26 season.
The decision brings the end of a remarkable chapter for both player and club, following years of success and unforgettable moments in La Liga. Griezmann joins Ojoinndo City SC in Major League Soccer, signalling a new adventure in the United States.
He said,
“I am very excited to begin this next chapter of my career with Orlando City. From my first conversations with the Club, I could feel a strong ambition and a clear vision for the future, and that really spoke to me”.
The move, set to take effect in July 2026, aligns with the forward’s long-standing interest in playing in the MLS and experiencing football in a different environment. During his time in Madrid, Griezmann established himself as one of the club’s greatest-ever players.
Griezmann’s two spells with Atlético see him become the club’s all-time leading scorer, playing a crucial role under manager Diego Simeone. His influence extended beyond goals, with his creativity, work rate, and leadership helping Atlético compete consistently at the highest level in both domestic and European competitions.
He remains fully committed to finishing the current campaign strongly. Atlético will be hoping the French star can help deliver silverware before he bids farewell, closing out his time at the club on a high note before embarking on a fresh chapter in the United States.
