Flamengo carried out a recent survey to check the conditions for signing midfielder Thiago Almada. The Argentine national team athlete belongs to Atlético de Madrid and played for Botafogo in the 2024 season. However, the player’s career plan does not foresee a return to the Brazilian sporting scene at the current time.
The Argentine player’s plan is to wait for the end of the World Cup to evaluate surveys on the European market, which is emerging as his main focus in his career. River Plate also expressed their desire to have the midfielder and is emerging as a strong rival for the Rio team in the event that the professional decides to return to the South American continent.
Present in Argentina’s squad, the athlete projects a positive sequence in the global tournament to attract the interest of major teams from the Old Continent. The player, who aroused the interest of Palmeiras in the first months of this year, has a valid contract with the Spanish team until 2030.
Over the last competitive year in Europe, the player participated in 44 official clashes, starting in the starting eleven on 22 occasions. The athlete’s individual record in the regular season recorded four balls in the net and four direct passes to goal.
Flamengo’s board mapped the creative sector as one of the squad’s most urgent needs for the next hiring period, following a request from coach Leonardo Jardim. The commander assesses that the group needs an alternative to take turns with Arrascaeta due to the Uruguayan’s physical exhaustion. The football department’s planning also includes the search for an area striker and a specialist for the left side of the defense.
