The saga involving the signing of midfielder Thiago Almada has recently gained new chapters. In talks with Flamengo, but also drawing strong interest from River Plate (ARG), the Argentine player has still not made a final decision about the next step in his career. At least that was the recent assurance given by one of the player’s agents, as he currently plays for Atlético de Madrid (ESP).

Thus, in contact with journalist Venê Casagrande, agent Agustín Jiménez confirmed that the player has not yet decided which offer he will accept in the coming weeks. “Thiago still hasn’t made a decision,” said the Argentine player’s agent.
