Griezmann returned to Atletico permanently last summer after a two-year loan from Barcelona.
In his two spells at the club, he scored 181 goals in 389 matches, as well as winning three major trophies.
However, Griezmann may now leave the Spanish capital once again.
According to L’EquipeMLS club Los Angeles FC are interested in a Griezmann transfer.
LAFC are said to be considering signing the striker for free next summer or triggering his release clause.
The report adds that Griezmann has a clause worth just £8.5m in his Atletico contract.
Griezmann had previously planned to move to MLS after the 2026 World Cup, co-hosted by the USA.
As a result, he will seek reassurance over his international future in negotiations with France coach Didier Deschamps before making a decision on a potential move.
