The French forward, who initially joined Atlético in the 2014–15 season, has amassed 197 goals in 442 official appearances, making him the club's all-time leading scorer—surpassing the previous record held by Luis Aragonés.
In the 2024–25 season, Griezmann demonstrated his continued value to the team by participating in 53 matches, scoring 16 goals, and providing 9 assists.
The contract extension also includes a financial restructuring aimed at assisting Atlético Madrid in managing its wage bill. Griezmann's salary will be distributed over two seasons, providing the club with greater flexibility in the transfer market.
Despite the extension, reports suggest that Griezmann may consider a move to Major League Soccer (MLS) in 2026, indicating that the new deal does not necessarily guarantee his stay until 2027.
Griezmann's decision to continue with Atlético Madrid underscores his enduring influence and leadership within the squad as they prepare for the upcoming seasons.
