Antoine Griezmann has officially signed a contract extension with Atlético Madrid, keeping him at the club until 2027.
The French forward, who has been pivotal for Diego Simeone’s side, chose loyalty over lucrative offers from Major League Soccer (MLS), opting instead to remain in Spain with a reduced salary package.
Despite growing interest from across the Atlantic, Griezmann reportedly turned down proposals from several MLS clubs, choosing instead to continue his journey with Atléti — a club where he has spent the bulk of his professional career and solidified his legacy.
According to sources close to the deal, the 33-year-old accepted a pay cut as part of his commitment to the club’s long-term project.
