Antoine Griezmann Eyeing U.S. Move After Barcelona Contract Ends in 2024

Barcelona forward Antoine Griezmann said he has his sights set on a move to the United States when his current contract ends in 2024, with MLS as the presumed destination.

"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," Griezmann told French newspaper Le Figaro. "I love that country, that culture, the NBA, and have a desire to discover it more, although I will also have to think about my family."

The France forward has previously stated his desire to play in MLS—in 2018, he said "If Beckham wants me in his club, then I'll go," referring to Inter Miami; he also dropped Los Angeles as his other ideal destination—and has never been shy to express his affinity for American culture, even traveling to the U.
