Julian Alvarez hopes Antoine Griezmann will stay with him at Atletico Madrid for years to come.
The duo have begun to build a lethal partnership in recent weeks as the Argentine finds his feet in Madrid.
However, Griezmann's future in the Spanish capital remains a constant source of speculation, with the 33-year-old's contract set to expire in 2026.
There is no immediate danger of Griezmann leaving on a free transfer, but he remains open to a move to MLS before retirement, and the club is pragmatic about his next move.
Griezmann has rekindled his relationship with Los Rojiblancos fans following his ill-fated move to Barcelona, and Alvarez hopes he can be persuaded to stay in Madrid beyond 2026.
The veteran has already scored eleven goals and six assists in all competitions.
“We all know the class that Antoine has. Everything he has given to this club and to football in general, it is a pleasure to play with him,” said Mundo Deportivo.
“He gives us a lot and makes us all play better. We hope he stays with us and continues to contribute.”
Atletico Madrid close out 2024 with two crucial La Liga matches against neighbors Getafe and Barcelona in the coming days before the mid-season break.
