River Plate has once again positioned itself in the race for Thiago Almada after the player's negotiation with Flamengo became contingent on a definitive response. The Argentine midfielder has not yet made a decision, and his silence has reopened a possibility for the team managed by Eduardo Coudet.
It is said that River will do, over the course of this weekend, everything possible to unlock this situation, which once again places the Núñez team in the running for the Atlético Madrid player.
The situation accelerated after Flamengo set a deadline to obtain a response from the player. According to reports, the Brazilian club expects a decision before the start of next week.
If Almada does not respond by Monday, the operation with Mengão would be considered definitively over. In that scenario, River would seek to move forward with a proposal it had already presented, which could turn into one of the most important transfers in its history.
From River's camp, it is maintained that the institution has made every possible effort to finalize the acquisition and that now the decision is exclusively in the hands of the midfielder.
The offer presented by the Argentine club involves an investment of 20 million dollars to acquire the player. Additionally, River would be willing to offer him a contract close to the salary he currently earns at Atlético Madrid.
The combination of both factors would make Almada's eventual arrival a transaction of enormous economic impact for the Núñez institution.
