Atlético Madrid ‘to ask’ 20 million euros to let Thiago Almada leave | OneFootball

Atlético Madrid have set a 20 million euros price to let Thiago Almada leave in this window. According to Glorioso 1904, that figure is intended to invite talks with interested clubs.

The Argentina international has had limited opportunities under Diego Simeone and wants more regular football to keep progressing. The lack of consistent minutes has left him open to a move where he could take on a leading role.

Benfica tracked Almada last summer, but he moved to Atlético in a complex arrangement worth 21 million euros for 50% of his rights. The Lisbon side followed the process, yet the numbers at the time took the World Cup winner to La Liga.

Whether Benfica revive their interest remains uncertain. Any outlay would require careful consideration from Rui Costa, with a return to their agenda dependent on available funds.

This season Almada has played 15 matches for Atlético, 11 in La Liga, three in the Champions League and one in the Copa del Rey. Across 571 minutes he has scored two goals and provided two assists.
