Antoine Griezmann has been authorized by Atlético de Madrid to travel to the United States during the La Liga break for international matches to finalize his transfer to Orlando City, where the Frenchman will play starting next summer. Griezmann has agreed to a two-year contract with the MLS club, with an option for an additional year, and will wear the number 7 jersey, according to The Athletic. Orlando City wanted to have the player by the end of this month when the North American league's transfer window closes, but Griezmann insisted on finishing the season in Madrid. Atlético is in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League, where they will face Barcelona, and in the final of the Copa del Rey, where they will take on Real Sociedad. Griezmann, 35, a World Cup champion with France in 2018, has a contract with Atlético until 2027, but both the player and the club had already agreed that he could leave for free this summer.
