Thiago Almada is getting closer to making the leap to top-level European football, and Atlético de Madrid emerges as his most likely destination. The talented 24-year-old Argentine attacking midfielder has been identified as one of Diego Pablo Simeone's priorities to strengthen the creative sector of the team. His name has gained momentum in the Metropolitano offices, where they believe his profile fits perfectly with the playing style of the red and white coach.

The high price to pay for Thiago Almada

Currently at Botafogo, the player has been valued at 45 million euros, a high but manageable figure for the rojiblanco sports management. Almada, an Argentine international with experience in the MLS before landing in Brazil, has followed a steady and consistent progression to become a mature, disruptive player with the ability to make a difference in the final third.

Atlético's interest is not recent. Simeone has been monitoring his progress for some time and has given the green light for the club to act if the right conditions arise. The coach values his vision of the game, his one-on-one skills, and his offensive versatility. Furthermore, his ability to take on responsibilities in crucial moments makes him a player with the character typically demanded by the Argentine coach.

The player's entourage does not hide their enthusiasm at the prospect of playing in Europe and, moreover, under the guidance of a fellow countryman like Simeone. Negotiations could accelerate in the coming days if the Madrid club decides to make a formal offer. Botafogo, on their part, will not hinder the transfer as long as the stipulated amount is met, and everything points towards a near outcome.
