NO DEAL! Griezmann snubs MLS move in favour of Atletico Madrid stay

Atletico Madrid legend Antoine Griezmann has rejected the chance to move to MLS side Orlando City in favour of remaining with the Spanish giants.

The 34-year-old has been a bit-part player for Atletico so far this season, starting just six of his 23 La Liga games, scoring six goals.

Griezmann was offered a move to Orlando City, but Atletico’s director Mateu Alemany has now confirmed that the forward will remain at the club.

It’s understood that Griezmann made the decision because he is determined to lift the Champions League trophy with the club.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Orlando City are still keen on bringing Griezmann to the MLS and are hoping to sign him as a free agent in July.
