On Tuesday afternoon (21), Thiago Almada posted an emotional message after finishing runner-up at the 2026 World Cup, as Argentina lost 1-0 to Spain. As a result, Flamengo fans took over the comments. “Come be happy at the biggest club in the world,” “I want to know when you’re reporting” and “Flamengo is waiting for you” were some of the messages from the Rubro-Negro supporters.

What has Coluna do Fla learned about Thiago Almada’s situation?

According to journalist Mônica Alves from Coluna do Fla, there is strong optimism behind the scenes: “The chances of the deal going through are high,” said a source from the Rio club. That is because Flamengo are in advanced talks with Atlético de Madrid, surpassing River Plate’s (ARG) offer. In addition, the agreement with the player’s agent is well aligned.

At the moment, the deal is worth around 30 million euros (R$ 174 million). It is worth remembering that Atlético de Madrid own 50% of Thiago Almada’s economic rights, while Botafogo, managed by Eagle, own the other half.

Is Thiago Almada willing to play for Flamengo?

Thiago Almada’s top priority is to stay in European football. However, the midfielder has not yet received offers from European clubs. Therefore, the player is willing to return to South America and, in doing so, wear the Flamengo shirt.

What were Thiago Almada’s numbers last season?

Atlético de Madrid completed the signing of Thiago Almada in July 2025, but the midfielder failed to establish himself in Europe. Last season, the former Botafogo player made 40 appearances, only 18 of them as a starter, and recorded four goals and two assists.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

While continuing talks to sign Thiago Almada, Flamengo return to the pitch this Wednesday (22) to face Chapecoense in the 19th round of the Brasileirão. The match will take place at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Arena Condá, in Santa Catarina.

As usual, Coluna do Fla brings all the details about Flamengo in the 2026 season. So stay tuned to the website, social media and YouTube. In addition, Globo (subscription channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the match against Chapecoense.
