The Atletico Madrid forward is one of the best attacking players in world football at the moment. Griezmann has been exceptional for Atletico Madrid and scored 112 goals in 209 games for the Los Rojiblancos.

The 27-year-old has won few trophies with Atletico Madrid, but the dominance of Real Madrid and Barcelona did not help his chances of winning the Ballon d’Or award.

He finished in third place, behind Messi as Ronaldo, in the 2016 Ballon d’Or and Best FIFA Men’s Player awards. Griezmann played a stellar role in France’s successful 2018 FIFA World Cup campaign and led them to their second title.

There were a lot of speculations in the past linking him to Barcelona and Manchester, but, none of them materialized.
