Griezmann made his professional debut with UF Mâconnais, his home town team. While there, he tried out for a number of professional clubs' junior academies but was turned down due to the clubs' concerns about his stature and frail build.

Griezmann impressed several clubs, most notably Spanish club Real Sociedad, whose scouts were there, while playing in a friendly match against the junior academy of Paris Saint-Germain in Paris in 2005 while on trial with Montpellier. 

Griezmann agreed to a one-week trial offer from the club's representatives in San Sebastián after the game. Later, the club offered him a second week of lodging. 

The club then contacted his parents and formally offered the player a youth contract. Griezmann's parents were initially reluctant to have their son move to Spain but allowed him to make the move after positive reassurances.

Griezmann's professional career took off when he joined Real Sociedad in Spain in 2005. He spent several years in their youth system before making his senior debut in 2009. During his time with Real Sociedad, he established himself as a promising young talent and a prolific goal-scorer.

In 2014, Griezmann moved to Atlético Madrid, a top Spanish club. He became a key player for Atlético and was known for his speed, technical ability, and goal-scoring prowess. During his time at Atlético, he won the UEFA Europa League and was a finalist in the UEFA Champions League.
