While the future of Antoine Griezmann has been at the heart of the discussions for many weeks, Frédéric Hermel is favorable to his departure at the end of the season.
Antoine Griezmann has entered the legend of Atletico Madrid and La Liga this weekend. If the Colchoneros undoubtedly saw their last title hopes fly away because of their draw on the lawn of the Espanyol Barcelona (1-1), the Madrid club now counting nine points behind Barça, the Frenchman has become the foreign player to have played the most matches in the Spanish championship, his 521 disputed games surpassing the 520 matches of Lionel Messi.
Other symbolic brands are in the viewfinder of the tricolor world champion. With 198 goals scored in La Liga since its beginnings at Real Sociedad, it is not as well as two units from the 200 goals, which only nine players have reached in the history of the Spanish championship. Likewise, if he is already the top scorer in the history of the Colchoneros all competitions, his counter is currently blocked at 197 goals in 431 matches …
Antoine Griezmann still has a dozen matches to bring down these barriers by the end of the season. Because the beautiful story between the French and the Atletico Madrid may be coming to an end. While his departure for the MLS seemed acquired a few weeks ago, the French would still be in the reflection phase and considered very recently that the native of Mâcon thought of honoring his last year of contract.
“Everything is gathered so that Antoine Griezmann Party”
But for Frédéric Hermel, a great connoisseur of the Spanish championship, it would be logical to see him leave. “” Atlético does not tell him to leave, but tells him that his contract goes until 2026 and that he can then do what he wants. Which is normal after all he has given. He wants to end his career in the United States, that’s clear. He dreams of living in Los Angeles ”, He thus entrusted to the microphone of RMC.
“Everything is gathered for him to leave. But everyone would apply. That he leaves well, in good shape with a beautiful tribute. The whole Spain will applaud him ”, He added, convinced of the logic of a departure from the Mâconnais at the end of the season.
