Following the official announcement of his move to Orlando City SC, Antoine Griezmann took to social media and club channels to share his excitement about the 2026 season. While he remains committed to finishing his historic run with Atlético Madrid, the French icon made it clear that his heart is already wandering toward the "City Beautiful."
"I have always been open about my love for American culture and my desire to play in MLS one day. To finally sign with Orlando City is a dream realized for me and my family," Griezmann shared. "From my first conversations with the club, I could feel a strong ambition and a clear vision for the future, and that really spoke to me. I’m not just coming to see the sights; I’m coming to win trophies and help this club reach new heights."
Griezmann also took a moment to acknowledge the Atlético supporters, promising a "maximum effort" finish to his La Liga career before crossing the Atlantic. He noted that the opportunity to play in a growing league like MLS at age 35 feels like the perfect timing for a new challenge.
