After six months promising under the colors of OL, Thiago Almada finds himself in a complex situation.
Loaned by Botafogo, the Argentinian leader will not see the purchase option of more than 20 million euros lifted by Lyon. Officially, he has to return to the Brazilian club, but he will not play the Club World Cup or the local championship this summer, preferring to aim for a future in Europe.
Milan AC and Atlético Madrid on the lookout
According to Team TalkAC Milan recently informed on Almada, estimated at 25 million euros, a price likely to climb with the interest of Atlético de Madrid. None of the two clubs has yet formulated official tenders, but these tracks suggest an imminent sale, outside the fold of John Textor.
A possible stay in Lyon?
Despite everything, OL could keep Almada one more season via a new loan. This option would save time while John Textor is in conflict with Atlanta on the transfer and FIFA has seized the file, making the situation even more vague.
