Thiago Almada, a 25-year-old Argentine midfielder, is negotiating his move to Flamengo during this summer transfer window. The Brazilian club is already in talks with the player and is working to reach an economic agreement for Almada to leave Atletico Madrid, although the deal is not yet finalized.

José Boto, Flamengo's football area director, has publicly confirmed the interest and contacts with the player. He also mentioned that Almada has not yet accepted the proposal, and the club will only finalize the signing within their financial boundaries.

The next step will be to resolve the conditions with Atletico Madrid. The Brazilian side has a verbal agreement with Almada's representatives, but they still need to come up with a solution that satisfies the Madrid club and obtain the player's definitive consent.

Thiago Almada listens to Flamengo's proposal

Flamengo has identified Thiago Almada as one of their top three targets to reinforce the squad. Boto is also working on two other signings simultaneously, aiming to prevent elevated costs due to competition for each deal.

The Rio de Janeiro club believes that Almada can play various roles behind the striker. The Argentine is familiar with Brazilian football from his time at Botafogo, where he played 25 matches, scored three goals, and provided two assists in 2024.

Almada's current situation at Atletico Madrid favors a potential exit. The midfielder is not guaranteed a spot in Diego Simeone's starting eleven and is seeking more playing time after featuring in 40 games and scoring four goals last season.

Almada has turned down offers from Russia and Saudi Arabia. A return to South American football is among the options being considered, although a decision between the opportunities presented from Brazil and Argentina still needs to be made.

River Plate competes with Flamengo for the player

River Plate has also been in negotiations for the Argentine international. The offer from the Buenos Aires side was around 20 million euros for 50% of his rights, a deal that Atletico reportedly accepted in early July.

The transaction did not progress due to the pending final approval from Thiago Almada. This delay allowed Flamengo to intensify their contacts and attempt to surpass River's financial offer.

The Brazilian club might propose an amount higher than that 20 million, although they have set a limit of around 28 million euros. Boto has reiterated that they will not pay above the internal valuation set for the transfer.

Atletico Madrid signed Almada in 2025 for approximately 21 million euros for 50% of his economic rights. The player then agreed to a contract until June 30, 2030, giving LaLiga room for negotiations.

The next move depends on Thiago Almada's response to Flamengo's proposal. If the Argentine accepts the personal terms, the Brazilian club will present their offer to Atletico Madrid; if not, River will keep open a deal already negotiated for around 50% of the transfer.
