Antoine Griezmann, the forward for Atletico Madrid, has revealed his passion for the NFL. In a surprising gesture, he gifted a signed t-shirt from his club to Travis Kelce, the star player for the Kansas City Chiefs and boyfriend of pop star Taylor Swift. This happened just before the Super Bowl match between the Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers.
Griezmann, a 32-year-old French forward, has been in excellent form this season and is known for his love of American football, particularly the Kansas City Chiefs. This is not the first time he has been linked to the NFL, as there were rumors of a potential move to the Kansas Wizards, an MLS team, after he exchanged jerseys with an NFL quarterback in the past.
The rumors have resurfaced after Griezmann presented a specially-signed Atletico Madrid jersey to Travis Kelce, who is dating Taylor Swift. Kelce publicly expressed his gratitude for the unexpected gift and compared it to a Christmas present. He also assured Griezmann that the Chiefs would give their all to win in his honor.
In addition to his love for the NFL, Griezmann has also expressed his desire to play in the MLS someday. The French player, who has been performing exceptionally well since returning to Madrid from Barcelona, believes that Atletico will be his last club in Europe. He hopes to join the MLS in the future and has shown interest in teams like Los Angeles FC and Inter Miami, especially due to his admiration for Inter Miami owner David Beckham. Griezmann could potentially follow in the footsteps of other big names like Messi, Suarez, Busquets, and move to Florida.
