**Napoli** is interested in signing **Thiago Almada** in the upcoming summer transfer window and is preparing an offer of **20 million euros** to convince **Atlético de Madrid**, which is open to selling him.
The board of the Naples team is working intensively on planning a competitive squad that meets the demands of their new head coach, **Massimiliano Allegri**. The Livorno strategist has specifically requested the arrival of creative players to bring dynamism and versatility to the attacking midfield. For this reason, the technical secretariat of the southern club has launched an aggressive recruitment strategy in Spain, focusing on a talented attacking midfielder playing in the Spanish capital.
**Napoli Prepares 20 Million to Sign Thiago Almada**
The sports management of the Campania team is **preparing a formal offensive of 20 million euros to acquire fifty percent of Thiago Almada's federative rights**. The 25-year-old attacking midfielder did not enjoy the expected prominence last football season under the guidance of **Diego Pablo Simeone**, making a total of 39 official appearances and scoring only four goals due to his secondary role in the Rotations in Atletico's system.
**Napoli's offices** believe that the outstanding technical qualities of the South American playmaker make him the ideal spark to ignite tight matches in Italian football. Therefore, they aim to expedite negotiations before international valuations begin to skyrocket uncontrollably.
**Atlético de Madrid Wants to Sell Him After the 2026 World Cup**
In the offices of the **Civitas Metropolitano**, the initial stance towards **Napoli's** interest is one of absolute structural caution. As revealed by the renowned newspaper **Marca**, the Madrid team, also immersed in significant matters like that of **Julián Álvarez**, **prefers to halt any rushed transfer** until assessing the impact of **Thiago Almada** under Lionel Scaloni during the upcoming 2026 World Cup.
The **Atletico** management fully trusts that the Argentine playmaker will assume a leading role and showcase a stellar performance with the national team, significantly increasing his market value and allowing the Spanish club to demand a much higher amount than the initial offer from southern Italy.
The Italian coach insists on hiring the Buenos Aires midfielder due to the urgent need to add dribbling, long-range shooting, and associative fluidity in the final meters of the offensive sector. **Napoli's sports project for the next season does not entertain half measures**, and the Italian coach knows that the versatility of the Atletico player, capable of playing as a pure attacking midfielder or on the flanks, will provide invaluable tactical options to face a demanding calendar.
The Italians will seek to tempt the player by guaranteeing him an absolute hierarchal importance status that restores his competitive regularity and the playing time he has missed so much at the **Cholo Simeone's** squad.
The upcoming weeks will be truly crucial to determine if Allegri's Piedmont squad manages to completely seduce the Argentine player or if Madrid's board's resistance ultimately delays the definitive agreement until the end of the holiday transfer window. **The entourage of the Albiceleste gem** would view a move to Italian football with great favor, attracted by the mystique of the sky-blue club and the promise of a starring role in the squad's reconstruction.
**Napoli** wants to accelerate to secure his signing as soon as possible because **River Plate** is also interested in signing **Thiago Almada** this summer.
