“Atlético de Madrid and Botafogo FR have entered into an agreement for the transfer of the 24 -year -old Argentinian international Thiago Almada. The latter will go to Madrid to take the necessary medical examination and sign his contract. ” So it's done, Thiago Almada stays in Europe but it will not be at OL since the attacking midfielder will engage at Atlético de Madrid and join Diego Simeone. The Gones would have preserved it well, and the player himself would have remained well but the financial conditions were not met, especially with the economic setbacks which almost cost an administrative relegation to the French club.
Since then, it has not been the announcement of this transfer, questions are essential. Where is the money and what amount has been promised? Some media evoke € 21M for 50% of the rights of the player, Botafogo keeping the other half. Others say that a € 25 million check per 100% of the player's rights has been signed, while some share compensation between 30 to 40 million euros for all of Argentinian rights. “”When it's blurry is that there is a wolf“Said the adage and for good reason, since last night, everyone wonders who belongs to the rights of Thiago Almada? OL fears in particular to be robbed.
Textor intends to keep the money in Botafogo
There are reasons for this pessimism because on the side of Brazil, it's already seen all. “”Where is the money for the sale of Thiago Almada to Atlético de Madrid?

John Textor left his functions as president to give way to Michele Kang, shareholder of Eagle. The American no longer has a hand on current affairs or on strategic decisions. On the other hand, he remains the boss of the Eagle Football Group holding company and at his post as boss of Botafogo.
The consequence is direct since power and funds remain within the Brazilian club. The single box between the two entities no longer works as before, even if there is always a communicating vase effect. This decision to pay part of the money belongs to John Textor. We can still doubt the will of the businessman. With this transfer, the management ofThe glorious Targue to exceed for the first time in its history, the billion reals (1.2 exactly or € 185 million) but it must also pay the money from its transfer from Atlanta a year ago, equivalent … to € 20 million.
