Griezmann Commits Future to Atletico Madrid Amid Marseille Rumors

The French international has long been associated with Olympique de Marseille due to his public affection for the Ligue 1 giants. However, the 32-year-old forward completely dismissed any speculation regarding a late-career switch to French football.

Griezmann remains under a lucrative contract with Atletico Madrid until June 2026, enjoying a phenomenal season in Spain. The clinical forward has already registered 16 goals and two assists across 24 appearances in all competitions.

"A contract extension? We will discuss it," Griezmann revealed to Spanish newspaper AS. "All I can say is that Atletico Madrid will be my very last club in Europe before I look elsewhere."

This announcement ends long-standing hopes at the Stade Velodrome of securing the World Cup winner. While Marseille loses out on a marquee signing, Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid solidifies their long-term tactical setup with their star talisman.
