Thiago Almada in Argentina to keep World Cup promise, Flamengo keen

What promise did Thiago Almada fulfill after being called up by Argentina for the World Cup?

Midfielder Thiago Almada is enjoying his vacation days after taking part in the World Cup. This Wednesday (22), the player, who remains on Flamengo’s radar in this transfer window, arrived in Argentina to fulfill a promise.

According to information from Argentina’s ‘Diario 13 San Juan’, Thiago Almada visited the Difunta Correa Sanctuary, in Vallecito, as a gesture of gratitude. Reports say the player stayed there for about an hour, where he took photos with fans and Argentine supporters who were present.

Besides going to the Difunta Correa Sanctuary, Thiago Almada also visited the San Expedito Sanctuary. After this ‘tour,’ there is now curiosity over whether the player will continue enjoying a few more vacation days on Argentine soil.

WHAT IS THIAGO ALMADA’S SITUATION AFTER THE WORLD CUP?

It is important to note that Thiago Almada has only now started his rest period, considering that he remained available to coach Lionel Scaloni until last Sunday (19), when Argentina played the final against Spain. However, on that occasion, the player did not take the field in his country’s defeat to the Spaniards.

Now, the question is what Thiago Almada’s future will be. At the moment, the player belongs to Atlético de Madrid (Spain). However, Flamengo appears as one of the Argentine’s main destinations for the next transfer window.

WHAT IS THE STATUS OF FLAMENGO’S NEGOTIATIONS FOR THIAGO ALMADA?

Flamengo sees Thiago Almada as its ‘dream signing’ in the mid-year market. According to reporting by Coluna do Fla, the Rubro-Negro already has the ‘yes’ from both the player’s camp and the midfielder himself.

Given this situation, Flamengo is already getting ready to move the negotiations forward. In fact, the expectation is that this whole process will have a concrete answer in the coming days.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?

While the board negotiates Almada’s arrival, Flamengo’s squad is focused on the team’s upcoming commitments this season. This Wednesday (22), Mengão faces Chapecoense in the Brasileirão.

In short, the match kicks off at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Arena Condá, in Chapecó. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will cover the details of the match on YouTube, as well as on its website and social media. Finally, Rede Globo (free-to-air TV) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the clash.
