Atlético de Madrid has already started planning life without Antoine Griezmann. Although the French forward's contract ends in June 2026, everything points to his time at the Metropolitano ending sooner than expected. The player is seriously considering ending his cycle in Europe this same summer, with Major League Soccer as the most probable destination. Specifically, Los Angeles FC is emerging as his next team, and discussions are reportedly well advanced.

Cholo's Favorite to Inherit Griezmann's Position

With this scenario on the table, the rojiblanca sports management has rolled up their sleeves and already has a clear idea of who should naturally replace the '7': Álex Baena. As reported by the Sport newspaper, the young talent from Villarreal has captivated the coaching staff with his ability to unsettle, his game vision, and offensive versatility. Additionally, his profile fits perfectly with Diego Pablo Simeone's style of play.

Baena is having an outstanding season with the Yellow Submarine, scoring six goals and providing seven assists in 26 matches, making him one of the most decisive players in the Spanish league. His release clause amounts to 60 million euros, but the colchonero environment is confident they can close the deal for a figure close to 50 million.
