Remember Thiago Almada? Benfica could start dreaming again | OneFootball

Thiago Almada may re-enter Benfica's radar. After being considered in the past, the midfielder emerges again as a possibility to strengthen the squad. The interest is revived due to the current circumstances of the athlete at Atlético Madrid, where he has not been able to impose his football, opening windows of negotiation opportunities.

Thiago Almada may return to Benfica's radar

According to the radio El Larguero, the colchoneros are willing to discuss the future of the Argentine international. The limited playing time granted by Diego Simeone puts the young player at the exit door, as the club aims to capitalize on the asset and ensure it does not devalue on the bench.

The same source does not specify the exact terms of the operation, but the most likely scenario could involve a temporary loan until the end of the season. Rui Costa is attentive to this market opportunity, seeking to secure world-class talent without compromising financial balance.

Limited playing time at Atlético Madrid could jeopardize World Cup

It is important to note that the values involved in the previous transfer were around 21 million euros for half of the pass. The South American wishes to play regularly to secure a spot in the 2026 World Cup. This personal ambition favors suitors who can guarantee him immediate playing time.

This season, wearing the Atlético de Madrid jersey, Thiago Almada – valued at 20 million euros – played 15 games: 11 in La Liga, three in the Champions League, and one in the Copa del Rey. In the 571 minutes he was on the field, the midfielder scored two goals and made two assists.
