Even though a lot of transfer rumors have surrounded two of Atletico Madrid’s stars, Antoine Griezmann and Koke, the possibility of them staying with their current club is pretty big. The latest reports are that the management of Atletico will offer new contracts to both players, which will also increase the amount of their buyout clauses. The club that has shown a lot of interested towards the two stars is Chelsea and it’s very likely that they will organize a massive summer campaign in order to lure at least one of the players to the Stamford Bridge.
Even if Atletico Madrid can’t get the players to sign new deals, it’s not one hundred percent sure that they will leave the team. In a recent interview, in which he was asked about his future, Koke stated that he wishes to remain playing at the Vicente Calderon and remain a part of Atletico Madrid. The midfielder has been the heart and soul of the Spanish club in the last couple of years, and it will be a big blow for the team if he decides to leave. Nevertheless, that’s very unlikely to happen.
However, the situation with Antoine Griezmann is a bit different. The French international has performed above expectations throughout the current season – scoring 22 goals in Primera Division. Nevertheless, Griezmann hasn’t yet made any comments regarding his future and whether he wishes to remain at the Vicente Calderon. Furthermore, there have been a lot of reports that the wing even wishes to leave Atletico and join a bigger European club.
The upcoming summer will be a very important one for Atletico Madrid, as they will have the hard task to try and keep the team as intact as possible. Nevertheless, it won’t be easy as a lot of big clubs will be offering “big money” contracts to their player.
