American club Orlando City has entered an advanced stage of negotiations to include Frenchman Antoine Griezmann, the Atletico Madrid striker, in a potential deal that could ignite the transfer market if it is successful.
According to what was reported by journalists Tom Bogert and Mario Cortegana, the American club’s management is currently accelerating the pace of discussions to resolve the agreement with all parties, hoping to finalize the deal in the coming weeks.
The moves accelerated following an official visit by Ricardo Moreira, director of Orlando City, to the Spanish capital, Madrid, where the meetings witnessed significant progress in the negotiation process to include the 2018 World Cup champions in the American League.
The club aspires to complete the contract as soon as possible without waiting for traditional transfer periods, in a step that reflects the seriousness of the project and its desire to make a qualitative leap at the technical and marketing levels.
