Palmeiras push for Jhon Arias as Thiago Almada drifts further away | OneFootball

By Vínicius Salgado

Palmeiras has made progress in the last few hours towards a definitive agreement for the signing of Colombian Jhon Arias from Wolverhampton. Meanwhile, Argentine Thiago Almada from Atlético de Madrid is further away.

Due to the financial aspects involved in negotiations with both players, who are in top European leagues, Palmeiras already knew that it was more likely to bring in only one of them.

As reported by Gazeta Esportiva, the positive outcome of the negotiation for Arias is closer and could happen in the coming days.

Fluminense has the priority for Arias' return to Brazil and, to exercise it, they need to match the offer made by another club. The tricolor team is willing to use this option, according to president Mattheus Montenegro, but has not yet taken steps in this direction.

With Arias closer, Thiago Almada is distant from Palmeiras. The former Botafogo player is not convinced that returning to Brazilian football is the ideal path at this point in his career, which has cooled the negotiation.

Palmeiras' Negotiations in the Market

Palmeiras already has an agreement with the staff of defender Nino and needs to negotiate his release with Zenit. The transfer of Jhon Jhon, a product of the Academy, to the Russian team could boost the negotiations.

The green-and-white club, on the other hand, is also anticipating some departures from the squad. The management is close to selling forward Facundo Torres to Austin FC, in the United States. Meanwhile, Luighi, also a forward, is attracting interest from Atlético-MG.
