Atlético Madrid interested in Thiago Almada, but Botafogo rejects offer
Atlético Madrid has been closely following the young Argentine footballer Thiago Almada for several transfer windows. However, Botafogo rejected a €20 million offer from the mattress team for the midfielder.
This decision has caused a small discomfort in the Brazilian club, as the owner of the club, the American John Textor, is also the owner of Olympique Lyon and expects to obtain greater profits from the sale of the Argentine. Almada, for his part, wanted to play for Atlético, but now sees his desire frustrated.
