Luis Suárez left a heavy legacy at Almería. Thalys was bought by the Spanish club for seven million euros to make fans forget the now Sporting forward. However, the Brazilian striker who arrived from Palmeiras has yet to win over the Andalusian club’s supporters.

In total, the player has only featured in three matches, having been an unused substitute in three others (87 minutes), without scoring any goals. Leo Baptistão has taken the starting center-forward role, but the team’s top scorer has been Adrián Embarba, with five goals and two assists in eight games.

Thalys is still expected to receive several opportunities from Rubi, as he is seen as a young prospect with plenty of potential, but still far from the 31 goals scored by Luis Suárez in 2024/25.

This season, in the green and white stripes, Luis Suárez – valued at 22 million euros – has 11 appearances. The Sporting player has taken part in all the official matches at the start of the season: eight in Liga Portugal, two in the Champions League, and one in the Super Cup. In his 791 minutes on the pitch, the forward has notched seven goals and three assists.
