France’s World Cup-winning striker Antoine Griezmann is to hold talks with Major League Soccer’s Orlando City, having been permitted by his present side Atletico Madrid to go to the U.S. during the international break, a source close to the player told AFP.
Should both parties agree a deal, the 35-year-old would move to Orlando this summer after seeing out the present campaign with the La Liga outfit.
Griezmann “has been authorised by his club to travel to Orlando during his days off in order to make progress in the discussions linked to his future,” said the source on Monday.
A move to the MLS has been rumoured for years, with the 2018 World Cup winner known to be an admirer of other American sports leagues such as the NBA and NFL.
