Barcelona forward Antoine Griezmann wants to end his career in the MLS

The French World Cup winner has scored eight goals in 26 appearances for Barcelona this season as they sit atop the LaLiga points table for now.

In a recent interview with Los Angeles Times, French World Cup winner Antoine Griezmann revealed his desire to end his career while playing in the MLS. Antoine Griezmann was quoted as saying, “Winning La Liga and the Champions League with Barca would be a dream, and also my objective. After that winning whatever comes. There’s another World Cup so the World Cup in Qatar. And after that MLS. I don’t know with which team, but I really want to play there. For me, it’s an objective to end my career in the United States with the possibility of playing well and being a big part of the team and fighting for a title.” Earlier this season, the French star was linked with a surprise move to MLS side Inter Miami FC, co-owned by Real Madrid legend David Beckham.

Antoine Griezmann MLS ambitions

In an earlier interview in 2018 with Le Figaro, the Antoine Griezmann MLS ambitions came to light. Griezmann, who is a massive NBA fan, was quoted as saying, "World champion, win a Champions League and then I can go and quietly play in the USA. That's my ideal itinerary. It's not bad, is it? If the plan goes like that, I'd sign for that now. I don't know at which age I want to play in MLS, it'll all depend on the trophies I'll have won beforehand. When I'm nearer 32 or 33, I want to be there. I still have to be presentable on the pitch."
