All the best players we grew watching soon leaving football forever.

First Cristiano Ronald to Saudi, then Messi to Inter Miami, and now Griezmann to Orlando City.

Slowly the golden generation is gone

Antoine Griezmann started his career with Atletico Madrid in 2014, more or less a decade he has been with the team, really can be called the legend of Atletico Madrid, but in the end he had to go elsewhere, just like his predecessors or other legends, in football this is the cycle, although sad.
And I think Orlando City will be his last club to play football before retiring, but by the way, are there no Arab teams also interested in signing him?

Rüdiger may be one of Real Madrid's key players, but big clubs often sign new players for many positions when they don't get the results they want. I don't think the rumors about this transfer are true, but if they are, Real Madrid should add new players to their squad and strengthen it. Rüdiger has contributed a lot to Real Madrid, but Madrid's defense has made mistakes in many matches, causing them to lose points. Therefore, Real Madrid may sign other defenders, either to replace or in addition to their current defenders, including Rüdiger.

I think they will sign many players in the upcoming transfer window. It's not certain which players will leave the team, but players who influence and put pressure on the manager's squad selection need to be sent away.

Rüdiger still the key player for Real Madrid in this season although absent for several matches due the injury, Madrid actually has crisis with central forward and many time moving down Aurélien Tchouaméni position from holding midfielder become the central defender due several defense player get injury. I don't think Madrid will sell Rudiger as most important part for the teams, if not sign new defender I doubt Madrid will sell him although Rudiger not young but he has much experienced and still playing well.

The current transfer activities of Real Madrid not really active yet, last winter transfer window not sign any new players yet and for the next season still not any rumor for Madrid will bring new player exactly for defense position.

That is what age can do, nobody gets younger or stop aging, we are definitely going to witness the players we grew up watching and those in our own generation stop playing the sports. This is how life is going to be, we are still fortunate that we have the privilege of watching Messi and Ronaldo play in MLS and Saudi, sooner than later they will totally retire with no professional contract only when they play charity games, as it has become a thing recently.

I understand the interest in van de Ven recently. He is a really talented CB honestly. He can support the attacks and make a nice level of score contribution also.

Liverpool must be looking for him because of van Dijk's being old and the probability of selling Konate this summer. Manchester United would already make use of some good CB because of not having a great defense.

Real Madrid would also make use of a reliable CB in my opinion. Is he the right candidate for that though?

I think last season there were also rumors circulating around the media that Antoine Griezmann is left the club but still he stay one more season. But I think it's now a Fabrizio Romano are telling us and definitely it's will be official. However it's life cycle one day every player be retired, but they really console us and probably we will remember him as legend.

Antoine Griezmann spend some beautiful moment wether it in a Atlatico Madrid or in France like he really fascinated both side. In Barcelona his progress is bit hazzy because he spend only 2 season and in both season he wasn't able to utilize a proper place. But still we football fan really enjoyed him as a player.

Antoine Griezmann started his career with Atletico Madrid in 2014,

IIRC, he started his professional career with Real Sociedad, then moved to Atlético Madrid.

but by the way, are there no Arab teams also interested in signing him?

I would've loved to see him play in a more competitive league like the SPL, but AFAIK, the January transfer window in the Saudi Pro League closed on February 2 ^{[the same thing probably applies to other leagues in the region]} and since Griezmann is still under contract with Atlético, as opposed to being a free agent, the only possible destination at the moment seems to be the MLS ^{[unfortunately]}.

First of all Liverpool signed a youngster this winter summer who will join next summer and that feels like a Konate replacement because he has made it clear long time ago that he is not renewing his contract and that leaves him a free agent by the summer so Liverpool wouldn’t be selling it is him who would be leaving. Although it could still be that he actually can stay because clubs like Real Madrid who were heavily linked to him but with his performance this seaon I doubt if the Los Blancos will come back still for him.

Manchester United doesn’t really have the funds available to search for a new center back now because there are major areas are there to fix immediately. Real Madrid also might be looking beyond the EPL because it is usually e

Van De Ven is a very good defender especially when he's attacking so I'm not surprised that a lot of clubs wants to sign him from Tottenham. Real Madrid I think will be a better option for Micky Van De Ven. He's got the formidable strength to play for a top European team and choosing a team like Real Madrid that'll give him the opportunity of winning big European trophies will surely be the best option for him.

He is a good and talented player, I’m not surprised that Liverpool and Manchester United are linked to him, and I think Liverpool have been linked to him even before he moved to Tottenham Hotspur from Wolfsburg, Liverpool interest have been there before now, Liverpool will definitely need a new centre back should Konate Leave the club and we all know that Van Dijk is getting older and there is every tendency who would be leaving the club soon and they will also be searching for his replacement.

However Liverpool will definitely be looking for a centre back in the summer, and I’m sure that Van de Van will be a name on there radar, I doubt if he moves to Manchester United, because he wouldn’t have playing time in Manchester United, because they have so many Centre Backs.

So I honestly think he would be moving to Liverpool, because his father is a Liverpool fans and he is also a Liverpool fan, I think Liverpool have there eyes on him for the summer and if Liverpool eventually decides to move for him I’m completely sure he will ask for a transfer immediately.

It's really sad to see a lot of these talents go, some have retired and the few remaining most are out of Europe already, it's really sad but that's just football and we have to accept that players can't play forever sooner or later they'll retire. It feels like yesterday that Messi and Ronaldo came to limelight and now they are at their retirement age so that's how it will be for others so I think Griezmann is lucky to be able to play in top clubs like Atletico Madrid and Barcelona even though his time at Barcelona didn't go as expected he was still able to show what he was made of. He is 34 already so he is getting old to be able to continue in Europe, I know most players play in Europe above that age but the most important thing is leaving a mark and that I believe Griezmann was able to achieve. The golden generation also took over from past generations so a new generation will take over from them as well.

I don't think we can really complain because 20 years ago we were used to see a lot of players basically retiring in their early 30s. Now playing in a big club until you are 35-36 years old is totally normal. I feel like I saw Ronaldinho playing for ages but in reality he left Barcelona when he was only 28 years old, and when he left AC Milan (and European football) he was only 31 years old. We are talking 15 years ago and so many things changed in the meantime. Griezmann is 35 years old, it's a good age to move to the MLS.

Yes, that's how the sports world will have every next generation and the old generation will retire or leave their best team, some stay in their hometown and join the underdog team and some move to the league. The best team will always try to recruit players who have good quality, high fighting spirit and speed ability that the club needs and usually are young players so we must be able to accept the changes that occur there will definitely be successor players who certainly have almost the same ability as them such as Mbappe, Vinicius Jr, Bellingham, Erling Haaland etc. but they still have a lot to learn to become a player like them.

[TastyChillySauce00]

Mastantuono seems washed now. He's only playing less than 10 minutes in the last 4 games of Real madrid. So i guess he's just another Endrick. I'm wondering why does he still stay there while he rarely got minutes. He should tell his club if he's keen to be loaned.
I think it will far better to develop him, and give him more minutes.

I've heard Brighton has an interest to loan him from Madrid. If i were him, i would be telling Madrid to sent me to Brighton. The longer he stays, his career will be worsen.
Arbeloa has no interest to play him. So he has to leave and play in another club as loan.

So many young talents being treated badly at Madrid.

The last decade has been truly excellent for the world of football. Many great players have emerged, and we've experienced a period of intense competition. The rivalry, particularly during the Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi era, has made football a much more attractive sport. Now, as these players gradually approach retirement, it's naturally heartening. However, new talents will always emerge in football, that's the beauty of it. Twenty-five years ago, we had star players like Rivaldo, R9, Cafu, Roberto Carlos, Kahn, Henry, and Bergkamp. Then the current generation took over. Of course, even better players can emerge.

Sincerely, I think Griezmann is not the same Griezmann of the first Atletico Madrid era. In the first era he was very determinated player and a real goal machine, at Barcelona he was not hungry and the money turned off his determination and his goals hunger. It's for Griezmann time to go in MLS?? Yes of course, but he remain in our memories one of the best in last 20 years.

He's got the formidable strength to play for a top European team and choosing a team like Real Madrid that'll give him the opportunity of winning big European trophies will surely be the best option for him.

Van de ven is a very nice center half that will always attract interest from top clubs because he is a good ball playing center half and he is still very young, but the problem is Tottenham, will they allow him to move to another top English premier league side?
That's what I think will never happen because dany levy is notorious at frustrating players that want to switch to another top English premier league side, even when the player have handed in a transfer request, but if real madrid are serious with their interests, then this transfer will be possible, but the chances of van de ven moving to Manchester United is very slim.

It makes sense that clubs like Manchester United, Liverpool, and Real Madrid are competing for Van de Ven. Van de Ven is a formidable defender with strong ball-winning abilities and excellent defensive speed. Furthermore, at just 24 years old, it's understandable that top European clubs are eyeing him. The problem is, signing Van de Ven won't be easy, as he's bound to command a high price tag and is under contract with Tottenham until 2029.

I see Antoine Griezmann as an unlucky player, because at Atletico Madrid what has he achieved? at most a name that is recorded as an Atletico Madrid legend but what titles has he won? in the last 10 seasons at Atletico Madrid? Because all I know is the Europa League trophy and the Super Cup

If he was at a more appropriate club maybe a little better.

Van de Ven is a player who has proven himself in the Premier League. We already know that Real Madrid has a weakness in this position. If Real Madrid is one of the teams interested in him, I think none of the other teams will stand a chance. Real Madrid is a strong enough team to acquire any player they want. I think this will be the transfer race of this summer's transfer window.

griezmann was one of the shining stars of his era, and like all other players similar to him, we can say he was overshadowed by the presence of messi and ronaldo. i'm sure that if the griezmann of that era were playing today, he would be one of the top three active players.

it's unfortunate that even the players we've been watching recently are now leaving europe, but at least the places they're going to are a bit more watchable and accessible. when going to america or saudi arabia wasn't popular, players were going to strange leagues and countries where you could never watch the matches. we have better access to matches played in both saudi arabia and america.

Griezmann is already washed player. He already gave so many things in the past, but he's not as good as what he used to be. So let him join that MLS club is good way to give him best club for his retirement.
However, the talk is still in the progress and Atletico could also change their mind to keep him for another year. Nevertheless, that may not happen unless Orlando City offers him lucrative salary to join.

I think this is the best time for him to go there. It will help atletico to reduce their salary cap at least 180k weekly.
Let's see what's gonna be his choice.
