Thiago Almada ‘waiting for’ Europe offer, Flamengo deal only verbal

According to Coluna Do Fla, Flamengo have reached a verbal agreement with 2022 world champion Thiago Almada, who wants to leave Atlético de Madrid and is still waiting for a new offer from Europe.

The 25-year-old remains under contract with Atlético until 2030, and his salary in Spain is high, which could complicate any move.

River Plate have lodged a bid but are struggling to provide guarantees to a United States bank. Flamengo are working behind the scenes to beat the Argentine club, helped by greater financial capacity.

A strong World Cup showing could prompt fresh interest from Europe. Argentina have two matches left in the tournament and Almada is not a guaranteed starter.

The transfer window opens on Monday 20, so the pursuit of the midfielder is likely to continue, and interest may not be limited to European clubs.
