Last season, the Spanish media hailed Griezmann/Sørloth as one of the sharpest attacking duos in La Liga. The two strikers are what is called complementary, two players who complement each other on the pitch – and take advantage of this. Last summer, Griezmann was rumoured to be on his way away from Atletico, but chose to extend until 2027. In recent weeks, the French legend has once again been warned of his way out, this time “virtually in agreement with a new club”. Atletico’s sporting director promises supporters that this is just speculation.
On Friday, L’Equipe reported that it was 95 percent certain Griezmann will sign for Orlando City. Griez has previously stated that he wants to end his career in MLS, according to L’Équipe , there are only a few details missing before a deal with Orlando City falls into place.

Sounds like Sørloth and Griezmann will continue in tandem next season as well.
