Antoine Griezmann is set to leave Atletico Madrid to join Orlando City this summer, per Sky Sports. The 35-year-old forward moves to the United States after a second spell with the Spanish side. He previously represented Real Sociedad and Barcelona in La Liga. Griezmann will join the Florida-based club on a free transfer when his current contract expires in June, according to ESPN.
The forward retired from international football in September 2024 after earning 137 caps for France. He scored 44 goals for his country and won the World Cup in 2018. Griezmann becomes the latest high-profile European player to move to Major League Soccer. Orlando City currently sits in the middle of the Eastern Conference standings as they prepare for his arrival later this year, according to league data.
Atletico Madrid officials confirmed the departure of their record goalscorer earlier today. Griezmann has scored more than 180 goals for the club across two permanent spells in the Spanish capital.
