Antoine Griezmann will leave Atletico Madrid for Major League Soccer side Orlando City SC at the end of the season, the two clubs announced on Tuesday.
Atletico’s all-time leading scorer has signed a two-year deal with Orlando, becoming the latest veteran to move to North America.
«The striker, with the club’s permission, traveled to Orlando during the two rest days granted to the first team to finalize his contract with Florida,» Atletico said in a statement.
The 35-year-old Griezmann will be hoping to finish in style and complete his tenth season as an Atletico player with a second major trophy with the Rojiblancos, after the 2018 Europa League.
