Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>Atletico Madrid\u2019s French international Antoine Griezmann said his participation in the Paris Olympic Games will be decided in the coming days.<\/p>\n

While he expresses a strong desire to represent his country in Paris, he also aims to avoid any conflict with his club.<\/p>\n

France Olympic team coach Thierry Henry will announce a preliminary list for the Games on June 3 and 33-year-old Griezmann admits that competing in Paris would be \u201ca dream.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Griezmann explained, \u201cIt is the club (Atletico Madrid) that decides, and at the moment, they are not very willing for me to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will be decided shortly. I can\u2019t do anything else; I just don\u2019t want it to be a problem for my future at Atletico,\u201d he elaborated during a press conference.<\/p>\n

Griezmann has already been named to the France squad for the European Championships, which will be held in Germany from June 14 to July 14.<\/p>\n

The Olympics start just over a week later and continue until just a week before the 2024-25 La Liga season begins in Spain. If he participates in the Games, it would mean him possibly competing in two major tournaments in a row and missing the preparation period with the club before the new season.<\/p>\n

The striker reiterated his loyalty to Atletico and stated that he had turned down offers to move elsewhere this summer.<\/p>\n

\u201cAtletico is where I want to be and where I want to end my career in Europe,\u201d he insisted.<\/p>\n
