Thiago Almada
24-Year-Old
Atlético Madrid
La Liga
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Almada had a disappointing spell in Lyon during his last time in Europe, moving to Botafogo before Atleti decided to bring him back into a top league. The attacking midfielder should take an immediate role in the starting XI and has immense upside in a strong attacking unit. with Lyon he scored once and added four assists in under 1,000 minutes, but his real upside is from his MVP-level play in MLS. Almada will be linking up with one of the best attacks in the league, including clinical finishers like Antoine Griezmann and Alexander Sorloth, which should help his numbers as a prolific chance creator. Double-digit goal contributions will be the expectation for Almada, and if he integrates into the squad quickly it's possible he comes away with more than that.
Signs with Atleti
Almada completed a transfer to Atletico Madrid from Botafogo, the club announced.
ANALYSIS
Almada spent the back half of last season on loan with Lyon, and struggled to really make an impact. He still showed enough promise that Atleti have gone in for him on a permanent move from Botafogo. Almada projects as a depth option for Atleti, filling in on either wing or as an attacking midfielder.
