Madrid-based Atletico Madrid is inclined to wait until the summer window before any departure, preserving the squad’s stability during a busy campaign as they compete on three fronts and target a Copa del Rey final. Griezmann’s relationship with coaches and club leadership remains strong, and there is a plan to reassess his future at the end of the season.
The MLS transfer window is open until late March and reopens in mid-July, providing a window for negotiations should both parties reach a formal agreement. In the meantime, Atletico are focused on their domestic and European commitments and are not preparing to weaken their squad during a pivotal stage of the season.
Overall, while a move to MLS is described as a long-term objective for Griezmann, the immediate priority for both Atletico and Orlando is to navigate the current campaign before finalizing any future transfer decisions.
