“I’ve always given everything for this shirt and will continue to do so for the years to come.”

His extension comes at a time when Atlético are aiming to reinforce their squad for a renewed push at domestic and European success. Griezmann’s leadership, experience, and ability to perform in big matches remain vital to the club’s ambitions.

Fans have welcomed the news with enthusiasm, celebrating the commitment of a player who has become synonymous with Atlético’s identity and fighting spirit.

Griezmann is expected to play a key role as the team prepares for the 2025–26 season, with both La Liga and Champions League titles firmly in their sights.
