Griezmann eyeing future MLS switch after fulfilling World Cup and Champions League 'obsession'

Antoine Griezmann plans to end his career in MLS, but is first focusing on his "obsession" of World Cup success with France.

The Atletico Madrid forward tasted glory in the Europa League this season, scoring twice in the final against Marseille, and has signed a new contract with the La Liga side to end speculation he could switch to Barcelona.

Griezmann was top-scorer at the European Championships two years ago as France lost the final on home soil to Portugal and, ahead of a last-16 tie with Argentina, Griezmann made his intentions clear.

The 27-year-old striker is eyeing further success with Atletico in Europe and also wants to end France's 20-year wait for a World Cup title, before finishing his career in MLS.
