Atlanta United’s aspirations and Thiago Almada’s uncertain future, the tale of the Argentine midfielder’s potential transfer
Garth Lagerwary, the club’s president and CEO, expanded into this concept in a recent interview with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, calling it as a convergence of ‘what he wants to do and what value we are getting.’ It is apparent that the negotiations entail not only numbers but also considerations concerning Almada’s personal ambitions.
The player himself did not hesitate to announce his desire to play in Europe, naming the Premier League and LaLiga as possible destinations. Furthermore, the desire to compete in the UEFA Champions League adds a another dimension of intrigue to the potential move. Fans and experts alike are wondering when, not if, Almada will make the transition to the European stage.
Uncertainty surrounds two critical questions: first, whether a suitable offer or situation will emerge, and second, whether Almada will break Atlanta United’s transfer record set in January 2019, when Miguel Almirón joined Newcastle United for a large amount of $27 million.
Atlanta United fans are waiting to see if Thiago Almada will be the next to depart for Europe, leaving behind a legacy at the club that surely affected his uncertain future.
