The future of Thiago Almada is once again at the center of the market, with three Spanish clubs—Villarreal, Real Betis, and Atlético Madrid

Almada was acquired by Botafogo for a significant sum, but both the Brazilian club and its sister franchise in Lyon are facing difficulties in retaining him. Lyon, constrained by economic and regulatory restrictions, is unable to ensure his continuity. Faced with this scenario, the Argentine is already exploring alternatives to remain in Europe, a prospect that excites both Betis and Villarreal.

In Betis' case, the interest is directly related to the potential departure of Antony, whose loan from Manchester United has been successful but challenging to extend. Meanwhile, Almada is seen as an ideal solution for Villarreal amid the imminent departure of Álex Baena, who is set to join Atlético Madrid to strengthen the squad for the upcoming Champions League campaign.

Diego Simeone's team also considers Almada among its options, although their priority targets include players like Cristian Romero or Emiliano Martínez. Nonetheless, a move is not ruled out if a favorable opportunity arises in the market.

With talent, youth, and international experience, Almada epitomizes a profile that entices several Spanish teams. His future remains open, but all signs point to his continued involvement in European football.
