Antoine Griezmann to travel to the United States to complete deal with Orlando City

Antoine Griezmann (35) is set to travel to the United States to finalise his upcoming move to Orlando City SC, according to reports from The Athletic.

Under contract with Atlético Madrid until June 2027, the French international – who has 137 caps (44 goals) – will join the MLS next summer to sign for the Lions until the end of the 2027–28 season. A one-year extension option has also been included in the deal.

Eager to secure Griezmann’s services as early as this winter, Orlando ultimately came up against the 2018 champion’s determination to see out the season with the Colchoneros, who are still in the Champions League and have reached the Copa del Rey final.

Having made 43 appearances for Diego Simeone since the start of the 2025–26 term, the Mâcon-born player has found the net 13 times and provided six assists across all competitions.

As Atlético’s all-time leading goalscorer, the Rojiblanco number 7 is now set to bring the most significant chapter of his career to a close – a career that has also seen him play for Real Sociedad and FC Barcelona.
