Flamengo has presented a formal offer of 30 million euros to Atlético de Madrid to immediately close the signing of the Argentine attacking midfielder Thiago Almada. This is positive news for the Atletico de Madrid's transfer market, as they do not have the Argentine player.

The board of the Rio de Janeiro team is seeking the return of the talented playmaker, 25 years old, to South American football for the second half of the 2026 season, just hours before the Albiceleste play the World Cup final against Spain. Mengao leads the negotiations significantly surpassing River Plate's proposal, an institution that also contacted the mattress team but with a lower amount of 20 million euros (117.3 million reais) for the player who emerged from Vélez Sarsfield.

Flamengo hastens to sign Thiago Almada

According to ESPN reports, representatives of Rubro-Negro are already in advanced parallel discussions with the player's agents to reach a verbal agreement on the contract terms. Although the initial offer stands at those millions, the Brazilian leadership believes the deal could be finalized for an amount lower than 25 million euros net.

The intention of the Rio de Janeiro board is to revolutionize the transfer market and provide their squad with the definitive quality leap to ensure success in the Brazilian Serie A and the Copa Libertadores, a continental competition where they will face Cruzeiro in the challenging round of 16.

Flamengo's ambitious plan to convince Thiago Almada

Renowned transfer market journalist César Luis Merlo confirmed the strong interest of the Brazilian club in acquiring the rights of one of the great figures of the Argentine National Team. The final proposal involves putting 30 million dollars on the table to strictly acquire 50% of the player's participation.

The playmaker is already well acquainted with the competitive demands of Brazilian football after his successful spell with Botafogo, a factor that guarantees his immediate adaptation. The coach of the Rio de Janeiro team is eager to have his talent to energize the forward line in the decisive phase of the year.

River Plate's disadvantage against Flamengo's financial power

The Buenos Aires team remains in the race for the attacking midfielder, but their budget limitations drastically complicate their chances of success. The initial offer of 20 million euros presented from the Monumental offices is entirely insufficient to convince Atletico de Madrid's board.

The financial aspect places the millionaire squad a step below the aggressive economic proposal of the Brazilian club. The Argentine playmaker, who last season defended the colors of the mattress team in the LALIGA Spanish league, will make a decision about his future once the World Cup commitment in New York concludes.

The upcoming days of this July will be crucial to see if the negotiations of the Rio de Janeiro team have the desired effect in Spain's offices. Flamengo will maintain pressure in negotiations, assuming that the hierarchy and skill of Thiago Almada will be the perfect tools to reign again in South American football.
