Griezmann on future and where he will end his career

Antoine Griezmann has discussed his future at Atletico Madrid and beyond, and he is interested in ending his career in MLS.

The 25-year-old France striker, who has in the past claimed he would like to play alongside Paul Pogba at club level, has been heavily linked __with United over the last 12 months.

Griezmann, though who only signed an extension in Madrid to tie him to the La Liga club until 2021, has remained coy about his immediate future.

Griezmann told France Football: “I’m feeling good at Atletico Madrid. Frankly, I don’t see myself leaving. People often talk about England, but I’m here.

“And then, going from Atletico to Real, it must be difficult. I do not necessarily want to try. I don’t think about it.”

The striker, who has scored six times and made four assists in 15 games this term, is clear on his ideal final destination when his career does finally start to wind down – and he says the lure of Miami would be hard to resist.

“The United States is where I want to finish. I love the States. I want to have a subscription to NBA and go __with my children to every game. I can already see myself there.

“I do not yet know the city but why not play for Beckham’s franchise in Miami? Playing under Beckham would be the best.”
