Gil Marin and Griezmann

Gil Marín finds Antoine Griezmann's replacement: a blow to Barça

The Blaugranas tried to sign a star who plays in La Liga and the Rojiblancos are looking to get ahead

Atlético de Madrid are not forgetting their future talents, and one of them plays in La Liga , he is a very skilful attacking midfielder who they have been following for some time. He is a star who is already starting his second season in the national league championship. Alberto Moleiro is still on the red-and-white agenda; many continue to see him as the natural replacement for Antoine Griezmann in the future.

The Gran Canarian has mesmerised the sporting management of the team, who see him as a special player who, moulded by Diego Pablo Simeone , could grow even more in the future. He made an impact with the game he played in front of the eyes of the Argentine coach himself last season, when the red-and-whites fell at Las Palmas . This summer there have been talks with his agents, although nothing has gone beyond consulting, simply because with Antoine Griezmann the position is more than covered.

But things will be different in the future, as the Frenchman is entering the last two years of his contract with the Madrid team. The idea of leaving the club and starting a new stage in the United States is in his head. Los Angeles approached his representatives to find out his conditions and whether they could execute the French player's termination clause, although this was not specified.

Griezmann is in no hurry to leave

It was not done, among other things, because Antoine Griezmann himself refused to leave the Madrid club in recent months . He is thinking about his future and is very keen on going to the United States , but he is in no hurry. He loves the North American country and is fascinated by the sports there, without a doubt.

He has friends at LAFC , such as Olivier Giroud , who has a contract until 2025, and Hugo Lloris , who runs until the end of 2024. Although the most important person, probably, in the world of football for the Frenchman, along with Koke , is Carlos Vela . The Mexican was captain of the Los Angeles team for more than five seasons and is one of the French footballer's close friends.

Carlos Vela one of the keys to the exit of the Frenchman

They met as youngsters at Real Sociedad and formed a very interesting duo, few people can influence the Frenchman more and better. Carlos Vela left Los Angeles last January; he has been out of action for half a year. It is unlikely that they will be able to coincide on the pitch, but the Frenchman will listen to his friends' references.

Atlético de Madrid will be watching Alberto Moleiro 's games with UD Las Palmas even more closely, with whom he has a contract until 2026. Next summer, if he still does not renew, he could be more accessible by lowering that 60 million clause that the Canarian footballer has. The relationships with Miguel Ángel Ramírez and Luis Helguera are fantastic, although the player has recently had offers from England, Saudi Arabia and is the frustrated dream of FC Barcelona .
