Antoine Griezmann gifts signed Atletico Madrid shirt to Taylor Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce ahead of ‘vital’ Super Bowl game

Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann gifted a signed t-shirt of his club to Kansas City Chiefs star and Taylor Swift‘s boyfriend Travis Kelce, ahead of their Super Bowl match against the San Francisco 49ers.

The 32-year-old French forward, who has been in impressive form this season, is an ardent fan of the American NFL, particularly favoring the Missouri-based Kansas City Chiefs. He had previously been rumored to have discussed a move to the MLS side, Kansas Wizards, especially after he exchanged jerseys with NFL quarterback Patrick Mahomes after a match in Frankfurt.

The rumors have returned once again after the 2018 World Cup winner gifted a specially-signed Atletico Madrid jersey to another Kansas City Chiefs tight end, Travis Kelce. Griezmann extended his support to the NFL side, ahead of a crucial match against San Francisco. Kelce, who is dating pop star Taylor Swift, publicly unveiled the gift from the French footballer and conveyed appreciation for the unexpected gesture.

I appreciate it. It's like a Christmas man. We'll try to bring home the win for you. 

Moreover, Kelce added that he felt highly pleased to have been included in the squad, likening Griezmann’s gift to a Christmas present. He also reassured the French footballer that they would give their all to achieve victory on his behalf.
