Barcelona’s Antoine Griezmann says he wants to move to MLS when his contract with the Spanish giants expires in 2024.
The forward is currently away on international duty with France at Euro 2020 where he made his debut in the tournament in his side’s opening game over Germany.
Griezmann joined Barcelona from Atletico Madrid in a move of 120 million euros (103 million pounds) back in 2019 and signed a five-year contract that will keep him at Camp Nou until 2024.
Although he still has three years left on his contract, the Frenchman is already planning his next move when he leaves Barça and he claims that he wants to move to MLS.
“I still have three years left, I have to be careful with my line, because at any moment I can slip,” he told French news agency Le Figaro. “My contract with Barcelona runs until June 2024 and after that I think it will be the right time to go to the United States.
“I love this country, this culture, the NBA and the desire for discovery leads me, but I also have a family that I would love to end my career there but be good on the field and win MLS, not come in with nothing left in your legs and looks like nothing else on the pitch. means. “

Griezmann has failed to live up to expectations since moving to Barcelona two years ago, scoring just 22 goals in 71 La Liga outings.
So far, his stay in Catalonia has only gathered a silver lining when Barça were named Copa del Rey winners last season after their 4-0 triumph over Athletic Club in April, and he will no doubt be keen to add to his medal collection before leaving the club. .
