For his return to a club where he shone between 2014 and 2019, Antoine Griezmann hoped for better.
On loan from FC Barcelona to Atlético de Madrid for one season, with another optional, the 31-year-old French striker has scored just three times and provided three assists in La Liga.
The 2018 world champion has not scored a single goal since a King's Cup match on January 6.
However, he will continue with the Colchoneros in 2022-2023.
In any case, this is what club president Enrique Cerezo told the Movistar channel.
“The goal is to stay together”
“Griezmann will stay here, he will continue at Atlético next season, released the manager on Sunday, at halftime of the La Liga match against Sevilla FC (1-1).
Money is not an issue when the goal is to stay together and the player wants to continue.

Cerezo had already made similar comments last week on Radio Marca.
But Saturday, another radio, Cadena Cope, assured that Grizou would not be kept in Madrid, and that he would therefore have to return against his will to Barça, where his contract runs until June 2024. Cerezo therefore clarified the future of the player, who despite his club difficulties remains an essential link in the France team, six months before the World Cup in Qatar.
Between 5-5-0 and grinta, does “cholismo” still have a future?
