The MLS is going through a moment of global recognition with the arrival of Lionel Messi to play for Inter Miami and this situation caused the United States league to be seen by the entire planet. One of the positive factors is that the main teams in Europe can find top-level players and incorporate them into their squads at a price well below the European market. This is what Thiago Almada wants to take advantage of.
The current Atlanta United player is one of the best players in the North American league and his numbers prove it since, throughout this 2023 season, he was the great figure of his team by registering 11 goals and 16 assists in the 34 games who disputed that they helped the team based in the Georgia stadium qualify for the Playoffs (they were eliminated in the Eastern Conference quarterfinals against the Columbus Crew). In addition, it must be clarified that he was chosen as an All-Star to participate in Arsenal’s preseason game where the MLS stars were defeated.
In the middle of his vacation, the 22-year-old was on “Generation F”, the new program on the ESPN network, and confessed that he was close to leaving for Ajax but that now he feels prepared to make the move to the old continent by say: “I want to go to Europe, I want to go now”. Simultaneously with his response, he was asked about the league in which he most prefers to play, to which he responded: “Anyone but if they give me the choice, I would like to play in the Premier League or the Spanish League”.
Without a doubt, Thiago Almada is a player who has a European future, and at the top, it only remains to know which team will bet on his signing, which, according to Transfermarkt, is valued at €27 million.
Given this news, the North American media are already speculating about the possibility of seeing a star leave for Europe just as Valentín Castellanos and Miguel Almirón did, as main examples.
