Antoine Griezmann extends Atlético Madrid contract
Antoine Griezmann (34) has extended his contract at Atlético de Madrid, the Colcheneros have announced. The 34-year-old World Cup winner with France has put pen to paper over a one-year contract extension. Griezmann, Atlético Madrid's record goalscorer with 197 goals, is now tied with Diego Simeone's Colchoneros until 2027. The former France international joined Atlético Madrid from Real Sociedad in 2014. He then signed for Barcelona in 2019 after the Culers paid his €120m release clause. Still, he would only spend two seasons in Catalunya before rejoining Atlético, initially on loan, before his loan was made permanent in 2022. Despite his longevity, Griezmann's titles record with Atlético remains slim. He won the 2014 Spanish Super Cup and the UEFA Europa League and Super Cup in 2018. L'Equipe reported that Griezmann wants to use the momentum of his convincing season with the Colchoneros – 16 goals and nine assists in 53 games played – to help Atlético win a major trophy. Advertisement Atlético Madrid finished third in La Liga standings and pushed Barcelona and Real Madrid in a title charge that eventually wilted in the final months of the season. Diego Simeone can still bring silverware this season at the Metropolitano, given the Colchoneros will feature in the revamped Club World Cup. The La Liga side will face Champions League winners PSG, Seattle Sounders and Botafogo in the group stage. GFFN | Bastien Cheval

Spain's coach Luis de la Fuente and Barcelona legend Ronaldinho have backed him to win multiple Ballons d'Or, with teammate Raphinha predicting at least three in his career. LaLiga's Rising Stars Yamal isn't the only young talent lighting up LaLiga. Real Madrid's 20-year-old Vinicius Junior remains a dynamic force, with his pace and flair earning Ballon d'Or chatter despite Barcelona's title win. At Athletic Bilbao, 23-year-old Nico Williams has impressed with his direct wing play, contributing to their European push. Gavi, Yamal's 20-year-old Barcelona teammate, combines tenacity with vision, while 18-year-old Pau Cubarsí has emerged as a composed centre-back, also tipped for future Ballon d'Or contention. These youngsters highlight LaLiga's rich pipeline of talent. Securing Barca's Future Locking in Yamal, who debuted at 15 and has already made 106 appearances, signals Barcelona's intent to build around their La Masia star. His new deal, with a reported €15m annual salary and performance bonuses, could see him become the club's highest earner. The agreement, finalised after talks with president Joan Laporta and agent Jorge Mendes, also positions Yamal to inherit the iconic No. 10 shirt. A LaLiga Beacon Yamal's commitment is a boost for Barcelona and LaLiga, where his electrifying displays continue to captivate. As he prepares for Spain's 2026 World Cup campaign, the Rocafonda-born winger is poised to deliver more unforgettable moments, cementing his status as football's next superstar.
