Griezmann's orlando odyssey begins

The French forward, Atlético's all-time leading scorer, will use his upcoming international break to jet off to the United States and put pen to paper on a mega deal with the MLS newcomers.

Orlando's capture of the 32-year-old marks a major coup for the franchise, which has made no secret of its desire to sign a high-profile star to spearhead its push for the MLS Cup and beyond.

Atlético, meanwhile, has granted Griezmann permission to depart for Orlando and complete the transfer, which will see him leave the Rojiblancos after a glittering decade that yielded multiple titles and individual accolades.

The move marks a new chapter for Griezmann, who has long expressed his intention to end his career with a stint in MLS. Now, with the ink all but dry on his Orlando contract, the curtain is set to close on an illustrious Atlético career.
