Atletico's talisman is to leave the Wanda Metropolitano. Statistics don't lie. Although it is true that this year the 'colchoneros' have not depended on him as much as other years, it is true that his absence will hit hard.
Because the 21 goals that Griezmann has scored this year translate to 28% of Atletico's total this season.
But it could have been worse... in the 15-16 season, for example, Griezmann scored 36% of Atletico Madrid's goals. The figure has fallen considerably. It could be said that the red-and-whites no longer depend so much on their main man.
In any case, the club must now decide what to do. Lemar could replace Griezmann. Or someone could come in to take his place.
The office are working hard to be able to give Atletico the opportunity to sign new players. It remains to be seen who will try to replace the 28% less goals that Atletico will lose without Griezmann.
