Diego Simeone comments on Antoine Griezmann Orlando City rumors
In this context, Simeone’s remarks clarify the club’s view on Griezmann’s future and the control he has in making his choices.
Speaking about the Orlando City rumors, Diego Simeone said, “I won’t speak for him. I care about him a lot.
“I already told him my opinion: that he should always choose what’s best for himself. He’s in a place where he deserves to decide what he wants to do.”
This response reflects the long-standing relationship between the two. Instead of dismissing the rumors, Simeone acknowledged Griezmann’s right to shape his own career path.
Antoine Griezmann linked with Orlando City MLS switch
Recent reports suggest that Orlando City is preparing to potentially acquire Antoine Griezmann should he choose to leave La Liga.
The MLS team appears keen to add the French forward to their roster as part of their long-term plans.
At 34, Griezmann has previously expressed interest in playing in the United States before retiring, which lends weight to the current discussions.
However, he is still under contract with Atletico Madrid, and any transfer would need to be carefully negotiated due to his significance to the team.
Currently, Diego Simeone’s message remains clear: the decision rests with Antoine Griezmann, and this fact influences everything moving forward.
