The Atlético de Madrid has set its sights on Thiago Almada, and according to reports from Brazil, they have already made an offer of 20 million euros to Botafogo for the Argentine midfielder. However, this proposal has been rejected by the Brazilian club, causing some discomfort within the Brazilian team's management.

Although the player had recently stated that his destination would be Olympique de Lyon in January, his transfer has not yet been finalized, leaving room for further negotiations, especially with the interest of the rojiblanco team.

Atlético de Madrid wants to sign Thiago Almada

Thiago Almada, who shone in the Copa Libertadores with Botafogo, has become one of the most sought-after prospects in South American football. Atlético de Madrid, known for its strong presence of Argentine players in its squad, seems determined to add the midfielder to their ranks. Interest in the player escalated after Almada confirmed his intention to make the leap to Europe, although his transfer to Lyon, his preferred destination, has not been finalized.

The rejection of Atlético's offer is partly due to the financial implications for Botafogo. The Brazilian club had acquired Almada for a sum close to 18 million euros in 2022, so selling the player to a European club could mean a significant loss in terms of earnings. Despite this obstacle, Atlético de Madrid has not given up on the negotiation and continues to bet on the young Argentine talent as part of its ambitious reinforcement strategy.

Almada's situation could be a key issue in the winter market, with Atlético de Madrid determined to secure his signing while Botafogo and its owner, Eagle Football Holdings, evaluate the best options to protect their interests.
