Former Benfica target who turned down Rui Costa could be heading to Brazil | OneFootball

Thiago Almada is on Palmeiras' radar. According to reports, the Argentine international, who was once linked with Benfica, may be on his way out of Atlético de Madrid. The same sources also reveal some details of the possible deal.

According to TyC Sports, from the Argentine press, the São Paulo club, managed by Abel Ferreira, is interested in securing the signing of the creative midfielder who has been catching the eye at Atlético de Madrid. The same source adds that the Brazilian club intends to make an offer of around 20 million euros.

According to TyC Sports, the amount in question matches the sum that the Colchoneros are looking to receive to release the player. Furthermore, by putting forward the 20 million euros, Palmeiras aims to secure around 50% of the rights to the Argentine midfielder.

Despite Palmeiras' interest, Thiago Almada is attracting attention from other clubs, both inside and outside Europe. Benfica, which tried to sign him during the summer transfer window, is one of the clubs that has already been linked to the Argentine midfielder.

This season, playing for Atlético de Madrid, Thiago Almada — valued at 20 million euros — has played 15 matches: 11 in La Liga, three in the Champions League, and one in the Copa del Rey. In the 571 minutes he was on the pitch, the midfielder scored two goals and provided two assists.
