ANTOINE GRIEZMANN is edging closer to a move away from Atletico Madrid, according to reports.
The French forward, 33, is into the final year of his contract at the La Liga side.
Griezmann re-joined Atletico permanently last summer following a two-year loan from Barcelona.
Across his two spells with the club, he has scored 181 goals in 389 appearances as well as winning three major trophies.
However, Griezmann could now be set to leave the Spanish capital once again.
According to L’Equipe, MLS club Los Angeles FC are interested in a move for Griezmann.
LAFC are said to be weighing up signing the forward for free next summer or triggering his release clause.
The report adds that Griezmann has a clause worth just £8.5million in his Atletico contract.
Griezmann had previously planned to head to the MLS after the 2026 World Cup, co-hosted by the USA.
As a result, he will seek assurances over his international future in talks with France boss Didier Deschamps before making a decision on a potential move.

The former Barca star has scored 44 goals in 135 caps for France and was part of their World Cup-winning side in 2018.
Meanwhile, he appeared in all six of Les Bleus’ matches at this summer’s Euros.
LAFC already have a strong French contingent at the BMO Stadium after bringing in two of Griezmann’s former international team-mates.
Hugo Lloris has made 25 appearances since signing from Tottenham in January.
Olivier Giroud also joined the club earlier this summer following his exit from AC Milan.
LAFC are currently second in the MLS Western Conference, two points behind city rivals LA Galaxy with two games in hand.
