Benfica alert: Atlético Madrid set price for Thiago Almada | OneFootball

Atlético Madrid wants 20 million euros to release Thiago Almada. This information is reported by journalist César Luis Merlo, setting the financial bar for potential suitors. The Spanish club seems willing to negotiate the transfer of the talented midfielder, establishing a price that allows for discussions with interested parties during this transfer window.

Atlético Madrid wants 20M for Thiago Almada

Thiago Almada has had little room in Diego Simeone's options at Atlético Madrid. The Argentine international wants to play more regularly to avoid stagnating in his development. The lack of consistent minutes in the Colchoneros' lineup motivates the athlete's desire to seek a new project where he can take on a leading role.

Last summer, Benfica was very attentive to Thiago Almada. However, the player moved to Atlético Madrid in a complex operation, valued at 21 million euros for only 50% of his rights. The Eagles followed the process, but the values at the time diverted the World Champion to La Liga.

It remains to be seen if Benfica is still interested in the player's profile and if they can seize this opportunity. Thiago Almada's quality is indisputable, but the required investment demands careful analysis by Rui Costa. The return of this target to the Eagles' agenda will depend on the financial availability of the SAD.

This season, wearing Atlético Madrid's jersey, Thiago Almada – valued at 20 million euros – played 15 games: 11 in La Liga, three in the Champions League, and one in the Copa del Rey. In the 571 minutes he was on the field, the midfielder scored two goals and made two assists.
