JUST IN: Antoine Griezmann finally speaks on his career decision about Atletico Madrid summer exit

Antoine Griezmann has no intention of leaving Atletico Madrid this summer according to former teammate Juanfran Torres.

Griezmann is enjoying a superb return to Atletico, after agreeing a permanent move back to the Spanish capital mid-way through the 2022/23 campaign, before going on to rack up 15 goals and 16 assists.

With the French international having earlier declared his desire to win back the respect of the Atletico supporters, his performances have validated the faith the team placed in him.

Nevertheless, despite his continued significance to Diego Simeone’s team, the seasoned forward has been connected to a possible departure because of his €25 million release clause, according to L’Equipe.

Simeone will not push for an exit, and Torres claimed there is no way Griezmann wants to leave the club, for a second time in his career.

“I don’t think Griezmann wants to leave, no matter what his clause is, even at €25m. He’s very happy at Atletico”, as per reports from Marca.

Griezmann’s current contract in Madrid runs until 2026 and he is likely to see out the remainder of his European career at Los Rojiblancos.

However, his desire to play in the USA before retirement, means he could make a move Stateside when he eventually leaves Madrid.
