Thiago Almada, a 25-year-old Argentine attacking midfielder, is very close to becoming a new player for River Plate. The Argentine club has reached a verbal agreement with Atlético de Madrid to close the transfer for a figure close to 20 million euros, while the player has already given the green light to the personal conditions, with only the final documents and procedures remaining to formalize the operation.

The move represents a definitive turn in the future of the Argentine international, who was also followed during the last few weeks by Flamengo. However, River Plate's offensive has ended up prevailing, and the agreement between clubs leaves the operation pending only the signing of the contracts.

Thiago Almada leaves Atlético de Madrid after a 20 million deal

The negotiation between River Plate and Atlético de Madrid has accelerated in recent days to reach a verbal understanding for an amount of approximately 20 million euros. According to information published in Spain and Argentina, the next step will be the review of the documentation before the official announcement.

Almada arrived at Atlético de Madrid with a contract until 2030, but his time in the red and white team has been briefer than expected. The Madrid club will practically recover the investment made in the player and, at the same time, free up wage budget to continue with its sports planning.

The Argentine, world champion with the Albiceleste, did not manage to establish himself as a regular starter during his time at Diego Simeone's team, a circumstance that facilitated the search for an exit in this transfer window.

River Plate outpaces Flamengo in the race for Thiago Almada

Throughout much of the transfer window, Flamengo was the main competitor of River Plate for Almada's signing. The Brazilian club even presented a higher economic proposal and held discussions with both the player's entourage and the Madrid club.

However, River ended up convincing the player, who prioritized his return to Argentine football. The presence of a sports project led by the Núñez club and the interest shown in recent weeks were crucial in tipping the balance.

The operation will also turn the expenditure of 20 million euros into one of the largest made by River Plate in the Argentine market, reflecting the club's commitment to strengthen its squad with a player who arrives at the peak of his sporting maturity.

Thiago Almada's Next Step

With the verbal agreement closed between River Plate and Atlético de Madrid, only the contract review and document exchange remain pending to complete the transfer. If no setback arises in that process, Thiago Almada will end his time at the red and white team in the coming days and be announced as River's new reinforcement, leaving behind Flamengo's interest and closing one of the most notable operations in the South American market.
