Atlético very close to affirming Thiago Almada

Returning to Botafogo after his loan from the side of Olympique Lyonnais, Thiago Almada (24) will not last long in Brazil. Targeted by Benfica and Zenit Saint Petersburg, he saw Atlético de Madrid arrive in this file. According to Recordthe Colchoneros have made a major step forward and would be about to complete the operation.

Under the leadership of Diego Simeone who would have convinced the player, Thiago Almada would have been convinced of the idea of joining the Spanish club. Benfica remains on the lookout, but seems to be aware that the situation escapes him, because Atlético de Madrid is ready to pay more than 40 million euros and offers a better salary than the Aguias.
