United States preparing an offensive for an Atlético star: Simeone worried

An MLS team wants the player and will try to entice him with a promising project to join them.

The MLS has been a booming league for several years now, with the arrival of some of the biggest names in the world of football in the United States. The North American nation wants its professional football league to reach a higher level, so its clubs are not skimping on signing players. Focusing mainly on the European market, many players have been tempted by offers from the United States to sign for an MLS club.

Following the arrival of Leo Messi and company at the local Florida team, Inter Miami , the MLS has moved up a notch in terms of quality. Committed to signing players given the high level of one of their direct rivals, the rest of the teams have been forced to strengthen and continue to do so in order to compete adequately. Among the reinforcements sought by the American league teams, one of the competition's historic teams has set its sights on a star from Atlético de Madrid .

The American offensive for Antoine Griezmann

Encouraged by Antoine Griezmann 's desire to one day play in the North American league, the Los Angeles Galaxy are preparing an offensive for the Frenchman next year. The Californians want Griezmann and would be willing to offer him a contract that lives up to his legend, in addition to negotiating a good amount with Atlético de Madrid . Focused on that future project with Griezmann at the helm, the Galaxy are already considering what their offer will be for the Frenchman to become a new MLS player.

Repeating on countless occasions his love for American culture and his desire to play there one day, Griezmann stated that Atlético would be his last European club. A few days before his debut in La Liga , the Frenchman is not leaving Atlético , at least this season, and is only thinking about giving his best to help the team. Focused, as I said, on the league start against Villarreal at the Groguet stadium, the American plot is relegated to the background for the Atlético forward's entourage.

End of cycle?

Of course, it is very early to predict the future in August 2024 when the operation would take place around a year later, but it must also be kept in mind. Griezmann , like any great player, is not eternal, unfortunately, and the colchoneros know that one day it will be time to say goodbye to the French star for good. Ignoring what may happen in the future, the Frenchman is fully charged to give his all in this exciting season that is about to start.

First this year and then we'll see.

And although age is not forgiving, Griezmann still has a long way to go and will continue to dazzle European football with his enormous quality. The Frenchman faces this campaign with enthusiasmand desire to show everyone that he still has a lot of football left in his boots. Oblivious to any attempts by clubs other than Atlético , Griezmann only thinks about working hard under Simeone to return to command Atlético in 24/25 .
