Atlético Madrid's talisman Antoine Griezmann has made a decision regarding his future.
Details: According to ESPN, Antoine Griezmann has paused negotiations over a move to MLS side Orlando City, which had been planned for this season. The sudden change of heart comes after the "Colchoneros" booked a sensational spot in the Copa del Rey final following a dramatic clash against Barcelona.
Previously, rumors were swirling about the 34-year-old forward making a transatlantic move in the near future. However, the victory in the Copa del Rey semi-final and the chance to lift silverware with the Madrid club have prompted Griezmann to reconsider his priorities. Antoine is now fully focused on the remainder of the season in Spain, determined to help Diego Simeone's side capture the title.
The dialogue between the parties is expected to resume only after the Copa del Rey final.
It's worth noting that this season, the French striker has featured in 38 matches across all competitions, netting 12 goals and providing 2 assists.
Reminder: Atlético reached their first Copa del Rey final in 13 years.
