Atlético Madrid ‘working on’ deal for Argentine international | OneFootball

The board at La Liga giants Atlético Madrid are actively working towards the signing of Thiago Almada.

That’s according to market insider Fabrizio Romano, who has over the last 24 hours provided an update on the situation.

The name of attacker Almada has emerged as an altogether prominent one in the headlines in Spain’s capital over recent days.

This comes after widespread reports were forthcoming, confirming that Atlético have earmarked the Argentine international as a potential summer signing.

Amid an ongoing search for reinforcements in the final third following the departure of Ángel Correa, the Rojiblancos consider his fellow countryman the ideal fit.

So much so that, as alluded to above, those in the boardroom at the Metropolitano are now actively working on a deal to bring Almada in from Botafogo.

As per a report from journalist Fabrizio Romano:

‘Atlético Madrid keep working on Thiago Almada deal, as exclusively revealed on Friday. Discussions are taking place with both player and club sides to discuss deal conditions. Almada, keen on the move to Atlético. He’d love to join the Rojiblancos.’
