A new Frenchman on the other side of the globe? After the departures of Karim Benzema and N’Golo Kanté in Saudi Arabia, the kingdom would make eyes at Antoine Griezmann. The 2018 world champion could therefore find old acquaintances.
According to FootMercato, Antoine Griezmann’s representatives met with Saudi leaders a few days ago in London. It is the Al-Nassr club which would try to get hold of the French striker, who has a release clause of 25 million euros.
Atlético Madrid would not be against the departure of its No. 8 in order to bring in money quickly and above all free up a large salary. However, “Grizou” never appealed to his desire to join Saudi Arabia. The Frenchman feels good in the Spanish capital and has always mentioned his dream of playing in the United States, and in MLS.
If Antoine Griezmann were to sign at Al-Nassr, he would not find his compatriots and teammates in selections. Karim Benzema and N’Golo Kanté play for Al-Ittihad. On the other hand, the former Barcelonan could form an attack line with Cristiano Ronaldo and Hakim Ziyech, which would make many European clubs dream.
