Midfielder Thiago Almada can change the club already during the winter transfer window. The Argentinian’s limited playing time has become one of the key factors why the head coach of the team, Diego Simeone, is considering selling him. Almada played 16 matches out of a possible 26 this season, while starting just six times.

Excessive competition in the positions where he can be involved became a problem for the football player. Atlético also feature Raspadori, Alex Baena, Nico Gonzalez in these roles, and Barrios and Gallagher in midfield.

Almada, also caught the attention of English Premier League clubs, but no specific offers have been received yet.
