Atlético Madrid interested in Atlanta United’s Thiago Almada

Reports suggest that MLS midfielder Thiago Almada is attracting interest from LaLiga side, Atlético Madrid. The Atlanta United player has been one of the stars of the division, and looks set to leave the league this year, with Spain his most likely destination.

Ferocious tweeter, Fabrizio Romano, posted on his social media account that Almada is “one of the top names on Atlético Madrid list” as the club looks to offload attacker Ángel Correa, who has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia.

Almada, since his arrival in MLS from Vélez Sarsfield in 2022, has made 66 appearances, scoring 20 goals and getting 23 assists. The player established himself as one of the most dangerous players in MLS last season, where across 31 games he got 11 goals and 16 assists.
