Antoine Griezmann appears destined to be the next superstar headed to Major League Soccer, according to a report in Spain.

The Atletico Madrid forward has never made any secret of his love for American culture, nor his desire to one day to play in MLS.

That day could now come next year, according to Spanish publication Sport. It says Atletico is aware that several MLS clubs have already contacted the France World Cup winner. 

The 32-year-old is under contract with Atletico until 2026 but the report claims if it receives a decent offer, the Spanish side would be willing to allow Griezmann to walk.

Atletico is said to already be considering replacements for Griezmann with El Colcho eyeing a move for Frederico Chiesa. 

Los Colchoneros are said to be aware of Juventus’s financial struggles, which reportedly could open the doors to Chiesa leaving if the Old Lady receives a suitable offer. 

The Italian international could have a price tag of €60 million ($64m), a figure which Atleti could end up paying if Griezmann leaves, Sport reports. 

Griezmann permanently rejoined Atletico Madrid from Barcelona last year but recently confirmed to MailSport that he intends to follow in the footsteps of Lionel Messi and finish his career in the US. 

‘I’ve always said that my objective would be to end there. Because I like American sports, I’d like to play in MLS and to enjoy playing there – to be competitive, to be able to win there and to play at my top level,’ he said.

‘But first of all, I’d like to continue to make history here. To win titles here with Atletico. We’ll see obviously in the future but for me one of my objectives is to end up playing in MLS.’

The forward’s former Barcelona teammates Messi, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets all joined David Beckham’s club Inter Miami this summer and he previously teased that he could be joining them in South Florida. 

‘If Beckham wants me in his club, then I’ll go,’ he said of his idol in 2018.

Inter Miami has an extra international player spot available after purchasing the slot from Western Conference side San Jose Earthquakes in exchange for $150,000 in 2023 General Allocation Money (GAM).

The acquisition would allow the Herons to sign another non-US player and it had been speculated that the move had been made in an effort to bring in former Barcelona and Liverpool star Luis Suarez. However, the club didn’t fill it before the August 2 deadline and they could look to use it for Griezmann instead. 

Griezmann has already scoped out the sports and social scene Miami has to offer this year.

He and teammate Koke were courtside for the Miami Heat’s victory over the New York Knicks in May, before being spotted at DRV PNK Stadium to watch Inter Miami. He also saw the Miami Marlins play the Atlanta Braves in MLB.
