Antoine Griezmann will officially leave Atlético Madrid to join Orlando City SC in the summer of 2026, bringing an end to his long spell in Spain.
The 35-year-old forward, who remained a key figure under Diego Simeone, has chosen to pursue a new challenge despite having extended his contract until 2027. The Florida club confirmed that the 2018 World Cup winner will sign a deal running until 2028, with an option for an additional season.
This move allows Griezmann to fulfill his long-standing ambition of playing in Major League Soccer, inspired by his admiration for David Beckham. After spending his entire professional career in Spain, the French striker now embarks on a new chapter in the United States, where he aims to make an immediate impact with Orlando City and continue his legacy on a different stage.
