Thiago Almada's spell at Atlético de Madrid is going through a critical moment. What was presented as a strong signing to strengthen the rojiblanco attack ended up becoming, in just six months, an uncomfortable scenario: the footballer is already listed as available for transfer and his continuity is in doubt.
The sporting backing never truly appeared. Almada has accumulated barely any official minutes since his arrival, a record that is insufficient for him to establish himself in a team that demands immediate answers. The limited involvement has gradually relegated him in Diego Simeone's considerations and has left him without a defined role in the structure of the squad.
With the January transfer window getting closer, the board has made a concrete decision. According to El Larguero de Cadena SER, Colchonero is willing to listen to offers for the world champion, with the intention of recovering part of the investment made in June 2025, when it paid 21 million euros for 50% of his rights to Olympique Lyonnais.
El Atlético escucha ofertas por Almada
The situation has not gone unnoticed in the Argentina national team. Less than six months before the World Cup, the uncertainty surrounding the midfielder's future raises a question mark over a player who is currently part of the core that Lionel Scaloni is projecting to defend the title. The lack of continuity, or a possible move to a destination with lower exposure, could seriously affect his chances of being at the World Cup.
Nevertheless, the former Vélez player retains significant importance within the plans of the Albiceleste coaching staff. Every time he has been drafted, he has replied with decisive performances: he scored against Uruguay and Colombia, he provided an assist against Chile, and he was an active part of resounding victories, including the thrashing of Brazil at the Monumental.
Almada's performances at Atlético de Madrid
Since his arrival at the Spanish team in mid-2025, the left winger has played 15 matches, in which he has accumulated only 571 minutes, during which he has scored 2 goals and provided one assist.
