Reduce salary and stay in the team! Team News: Griezmann rejects Saudi Arabia s high U.S. offer and decided to renew his contract last week

Atletico Madrid officially announced that the club has renewed its contract with 34-year-old striker Griezmann until June 30, 2027. "The Team" reported that in order to renew his contract with Atletico Madrid, Griezmann refused high offers from the US League, Saudi Arabia and other aspects, and he made the final decision to stay in the team last week.

Although it is generally believed that Griezmann will join the Major League Soccer League, especially the Los Angeles FC, things have not developed so much.

Griezmann hopes to continue playing in the European top league and win a major championship for Atletico Madrid. Grid chose to stay at Atletico Madrid, and he obviously valued opportunities at the competitive level more. He received high offers from the United States, Qatar and Saudi Arabia, but eventually decided to stay at Atletico Madrid and even accepted a slightly reduced salary to ease the club's financial pressure.

The new season will be Griezmann's tenth season at Atletico Madrid, and although he has no guarantee of playing time, he knows that his position as leader in the locker room will not change. Head coach Simeone has always praised Griezmann and emphasized his importance to the team. Club executives also worked hard to keep the veteran, even revealing in mid-April that he had decided to stay, although he was still hesitating at the time.

Griezmann finally made a decision last week, with his plan to join the AMF at some point in the future to end his career. Currently, he believes he still has the ability to play for another season or two in Europe and is eager to win more honors.

Griezmann hopes to realize his bigger dreams in the next game, especially in the Club World Cup in June, where last season, Griezmann scored 16 goals and contributed 9 assists in 53 games.
