While a fairly calm winter window was expected in the Spanish capital, Atlético de Madrid finally found themselves at the turning point. A file has remained open for several days, and it is that of the young Argentinian Thiago Almada (24 years old). Its future could continue far from Europe according to the latest information fromEstadio Deportivo. Discussions between the parties continue during the month of January. Palmeiras recently went on the offensive to recruit him. However, other clubs remain attentive.

Grêmio, in the Brazilian first division, tried its luck with a loan offer with an option to buy, without success. The former Lyon player remains highly rated in Brazil after his successful season at Botafogo. Madrid management is firm: Thiago Almada will only leave in the event of an attractive offer. Its price would be estimated at 20 million euros for 50% of the player’s rights according to the source indicated. The investment of 21 million euros paid to Botafogo this summer is obviously on people’s minds. With a short playing time, the player will have to wait peacefully for offers.
