Thiago Almada speaks out on Flamengo, Palmeiras interest | OneFootball

What did Thiago Almada say about inquiries from Palmeiras and Flamengo?

Thiago Almada received inquiries from Flamengo and Palmeiras during this transfer window. Thus, the former Botafogo player made a point of commenting on the activity in the transfer market.

“There were a lot of rumors during this period. I was calm, focusing on doing my job at the club and showing that I want to stay. I think it’s clear that I will continue at Atlético,” he said after Atlético de Madrid’s (ESP) match in the Champions League.

It’s worth noting that Flamengo only made inquiries about signing Thiago Almada. In other words, the Red and Black did not make an official offer to Atlético de Madrid for the midfielder. That’s because Rubro-Negro is focused on Lucas Paquetá.

Does Paquetá want to play for Flamengo?

Lucas Paquetá now prioritizes returning to Flamengo. For this reason, the midfielder is playing hardball and trying to get released by West Ham (ENG) to return to Brazilian football this season.

Flamengo has already settled all contractual details with Lucas Paquetá. The midfielder has agreed on salary terms and will sign a four-year contract with the Red and Black. The focus now is to secure the player’s release from West Ham.

Did Flamengo make an offer for Lucas Paquetá?

Flamengo has so far made only one offer for Lucas Paquetá. The Red and Black intends to pay 35 million euros (R$ 217 million) + 5 million euros (R$ 31 million) in bonuses. However, West Ham rejected the offer and negotiations between the clubs are ongoing.
