#1 Taking over Ronaldo’s mantle
Trending
Quite possibly the best reason of all. There’s no doubt that Cristiano Ronaldo is the King of the Bernabeu, but despite his prophecy that he’ll still be playing at the highest level by the time he is 41, the likelihood is he has 2-3 years left in him at best.
Though he has lost a yard of pace and is nowhere close to the player of 18 months ago, the Portuguese has reverted to a more old-fashioned centre-forward who is repaying his club in goals.
However, Greizmann brings much more than that to the party and at just 26 years of age, is six years younger than Ronaldo. As age begins to bite Real’s talisman, they will need someone else to take over the mantle.
Who better than the Frenchman, who brings goals, assists, superb team play and unselfishness? Becoming the focal point of everything good that Real would do going forward is something that can only seduce Griezmann.
