Seriously, I was expecting Real Madrid to sign Mbbape or one smart striker that will replace Benzema before the next season starts, but currently, I don't think they have the intention to sign any new striker because they're not currently talking about bringing any striker before their domestic league starts. If we have to check their preseason performances, Real Madrid have nothing left except that striking power, because despite their efforts to play good football by always controlling the pitch in preseason games, their scoring abilities are seriously weak. Let's use the Juventus match as an example, where Real Madrid are almost eight short on target but are only able to score one goal, which is really a bad, weak front line. So with all the defeats in preseason, I expected Real Madrid to do something about signing a new striker.

Currently the best teams in La Liga are Barcelona and Real Madrid. But comparatively Barcelona team is ahead in great form. On the other hand, Benzema's place in the Real Madrid team is looking great.

Yes, Griezmann is something like talented player, but you know he is not a someone like regular scorer. I can see he still managed to pull 15 goals in La Liga previous season with Atletico Madrid, also 38 appearances in La Liga. I have to say that he really played decent enough but if you look at his age he is currently near around 33 years old.

So I have to agree that he has played really well with Atletico Madrid, But I have doubts about his ability for playing with bigger club in the future. And so if Griezmann gets an offer of big wages from a Saudi club, I think he should go to Saudi.  He can earn a lot of money from Saudi clubs. It is really good that at 33 years old Griezmann's fitness is quite smooth, so I think he can easily play 2/3 more seasons in La Liga.

Yes indeed, and what is very unlucky for Griezmann is also about. It seems that Griezmann has also never felt or experienced winning the La Liga title despite the fact, Griezmann played for Atletico and also Barcelona but until now Griezmann has never felt lifting the La Liga trophy. Thus, it can be assumed that although Griezmann is one of the best players but in reality, Griezmann is not as lucky as other great players who have the highest achievement in winning the La Liga title. Also, Griezmann contract at Atletico is basically still quite long until 2026 and of course, playing at Atletico until his contract expires is not the right decision. Because anyway, if it is true that Griezmann gets an offer to play in the Saudi Pro League, then of course it will be a pretty good career end with a lot of money.

It would certainly be great for Madrid if Benzema stays with Madrid this season. But Benzema knows very well, if Madrid gets a suitable replacement for Benzema, then Madrid would throw Benzema away. And so Benzema did not take any risk. He has received good offers from Saudi clubs. This is why he is with the club in Saudi Arabia.
It is difficult to find a suitable replacement for Benzema. Joselu is really talented. There is no doubt about it. Because in the last season he was third in the list of goal scorers of La Liga. He is quite talented. However, he may not be able to contribute to Real Madrid's performance like Benzema. However, if he adapts to the Madrid squad, he can contribute to the stability of Madrid's performance.

Their search for the new striker is going on but sadly right now they are not able to secure Mbappé because they have no enough funds for this transfer even we all understand this transfer can bring big booster for them, and they can go hot favorite for the double again because their quality and performance is impressive but after exit of Karim Benzema they are missing goal's conversation trick which is not filling.

Mostly we were feeling Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappé are under their radar, but sadly both are not in their finances range with no other quality option available which is also a problem. As things are going right now if something special happen then surely this could be one of the best for them but most chances they have to wait for the next season to bring things on their track chances of going into top is hard but still achievable.

When a player like Griezman begins to see competition in the European arena getting more and more difficult and many young players appear to attract attention, of course for him getting an offer from the Saudi Arabian club makes even more sense. In Europe, Griezman has proven to be the best player, but in the future there is absolutely no guarantee. Now, by looking at the situation and conditions in Europe, which are getting narrower, Griezman has to think realistically because somehow the opportunity to shine again is quite rare. Griezman only needs to make peace with the situation at the club or indeed make a decision to go to the Arab League immediately.

Antoine Griezmann who was once one of the finest footballers in Europe currently looks like a shadow of the same footballer we were seeing in Madrid years ago before he joined Barcelona. I thought his return to Atletico Madrid will help him come back to his best but from every visible evidence, Griezmann doesn't look like the player that's gonna deliver the same kind of performance he was known for.
I think accepting to join Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr will definitely be a good move for the Frenchman.

on what basis do you say this? or are you just saying without a clear knowledge base?
ok I understand if PSG failed in the champions league last season but that not because of the coach fault but also the consistency between the players is still a little less solid because they only rely on Mbappe and Messi. and also do you know the certainty of the next champion league PSG guarantees if it will fail? not at all right?
we dont know what will happen because there is still a lot of drama at PSG. at once and get the treble winner title.
so do not speculate too early on a team without basis because there will always be surprises every match.

If he wants to play football with love and enjoy it, does not care much about money, no reason to leave A Madrid but it's reasonable if he leave A Madrid as I explained my thinking below.

I am not surprised if he accepts the offer from Al Nassr because I am taking into account his current positions in A Madrid and France. His career recovers in A Madrid but he no longer belongs to best players in Europe. The same in French team as despite of his contributions for the team, the captain arm band was given to Mbappe. Generally Griezman is old too and like Mane, Henderson or Fabinho, nothing is wrong if Griezman takes advantage of last seasons in his career to play in Saudi Arabia and get more money.

Most of the time peoples have no idea what are they talking and who they are talking about, but things are going as usual with Antonia Griezmann is surely one of the best striker from France, and he is doing good in Atlético Madrid while he has some ups and downs as well, but his career is still good, and he can do better in next few years even now he is in limelight for possible transfer but most chances he will not go with this and keep his place here in Atlético Madrid which is good side and can do better in this season as well.

Diego Simone needs to change his tactics and strategy which is not allowing them for having aggressive approach and better results because recently his defensive approach is not working, hopefully things will be change and both Antonio Griezmann and Atlético Madrid will be at their best for this season again.

Is not it griezmann already received some offers from saudi arabia clubs a few months ago? I just hear that if people are talking about it now. Griezmann didn't have regular time in barcelona. He decided to leave from there and joined in atletico madrid again.
Griezmann was trying to make sure if he will able to play regularly and he got what he wants. No sense reason for him to leave from atletico madrid.

I hope Griezmann gonna reject an offer from al nassr. The club is still trying to approach him at this moment. It's likely that griezmann is gonna give the final answer as soon as possible.
Im waiting for the news from him. I kinda feel bad if he decides to leave from atletico to join in al nassr.

Sevilla are a quite interesting team that they can win the Europa League title even when they are having a bad season generally. I really don't know how they can be this successful there even in this kind of situation. There are big candidates to win that title except them as well in the end. But they somehow collect themselves and give their 100% to the tournament.

But despite winning the title in the previous season they still need to improve their La Liga performance on one hand. Because previously they were quite bad and started to get positive results quite late in the season. This team need to be able to play for top 4 as much as possible.

Antonio Griezmann's career I think is quite brilliant and extraordinary when he is not yet 30 years old. But currently, Antonio Griezmann's age is currently 32 years old. And I think for this one player the age factor is really starting to take its toll. Well he's not old. But maybe as we get older, we are already familiar with seeing a decrease in performance in a player. But indeed there are players who are over 30 years old but still play well and are still productive. They are like Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Dan Benzema and several other legendary players. But not all players can follow these legendary players.

Previously, Antonio Griezmann's was brought in by Atletico Madrid as the most expensive player at the club. And he did not let the club down and led Atletico Madrid to several titles. Then Antonio Griezmann's also went to Barcelona with a transfer fee that was also high and well he also performed well there. But then Atletico Madrid brought in Antonio Griezmann's again and well, at that time he was not as young as he used to be. So it's only natural that there is a slight decline from Antonio Griezmann's.

But from my assessment this one player is still worth keeping and his contribution is also very good for the club compared to other players of his age. Even Manchester United were also interested in signing this player. And right now even Arab clubs are approaching this player. It's just that I prefer Antonio Griezmann's to stay at Atletico Madrid. Because for me he is still a pretty productive player. 13 goals in the last 30 matches I think is still very good.

In fact, even if Mbappe is in the PSG team in the Champions League, I think they will not be able to do anything extraordinary. Because PSG's team structure is so weak, the team's coach is repeatedly failing to organize the team's tactics properly.

If they plan without Mbappé this season or plan without a main striker then they will have to accept a season of poor performance. After the departure of Karim Benzema, we thought that maybe the rest of the team could make up for Karim Benzema's absence, but nothing happened as Real Madrid were badly beaten in the first two matches. I think the current team has done well in the LaLiga but it is not possible to do well in the Champions League with this team. In the first two friendlies, Real Madrid fielded their best XI. Despite entering the field with the best XI, Real Madrid did not get any significant success. They definitely need an experienced striker in their squad to do well next season.

Real Madrid need to work things out up front before the new competition starts, they haven't found a quality striker after Benzema left. The negative results obtained in pre-season matches and the decreased number of goals scored by players operating on the front lines required Real Madrid to immediately improve in order to make up for these deficiencies.
If Real Madrid don't immediately solve the problem on the front lines, it will be difficult for them to compete with Barcelona who are increasingly solid on every. Barcelona strength has increased after successfully bringing in players who operate in positions left by players whose contracts expired last season.

Griezman? The Griezman I am familiar with joined Atletico Madrid on loan from Barcelona, and he has been there for the past two seasons. However, if you say that Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have settled and Barcelona sells it to Atletico Madrid this season, I will understand that. However, Griezman has been playing for Atletico Madrid for a long time and is the team's best player; therefore, if he signs a contract with the club this season, I think that is appropriate. Therefore, I believe that joining Atletico Madrid as a player is the ideal option for him since I think that his performance has enhanced Atletico Madrid as well.

Griezman was just a player who hadn't won many leagues, and as a good player, he should have won more trophies in his career. I believe that Saudi Arabians want to spoil players with money, and I believe that Mbappe was right to turn down the offer from AL-HILAL because he knew that if he went there, his career would not be what it was before, and he would not be as well-liked. I don't think it's the fault of any player if Saudi Arabia offered him a sizable sum of money and he turned it down because they realise that money can make or break their careers.

Diego Simeone, the manager of Atletico Madrid, had disagreements with him that were made open to everyone by keeping him on the bench, but they were resolved. Antoine Grizemann is a challenging player for Atletico Madrid, but he failed to make critical decisions when he was resigned by his former club from Barcelona. He failed to meet the targets and objectives for which he was signed. With present-day transformation, the Frenchman has regained his strength and is fully prepared to lead Colchoneros this season. However, if Saudi Arabia makes a bid for the Frenchman, I believe it is too late for them.

Losing Alvaro Morata will certainly be detrimental for Atletico, but as long as it's a decision made by the club, Alvaro Morata can't do much. I think Alvaro Morata wants to stay and wants to continue to contribute fully to the team. Even if we look at the statistics last season he scored 13 goals for Atletico in the La Liga competition, isn't that a pretty good number of goals? But indeed it seems that this will not make Atletico quickly satisfied with their performance. Indeed, if Atletico's goal is to sell him this summer then they will still get additional funds to sign the striker they want but if in the end Alvaro Morata stays until next year, then Atletico will have to bite their players' fingers and leave for free.
