According to a recent report from Argentine sports media TyC, the Eagles Football Group, which owns clubs like Lyon, Crystal Palace and Botafogo, has recently been in negotiations with Atlanta United. They want to bring 23-year-old Argentine midfielder Thiago Almada to the Big Five Leagues.
The MLS midfielder played for Argentina in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and won the championship with the team. He is still the captain of the Argentina U23 national team and will play in the Paris Olympics this summer, which is why he missed this year’s Copa América.
It is understood that the Eagles Football Group has had very in-depth negotiations with Atlanta United, discussing a purchase of the 2022 World Cup champion midfielder for a price close to US$20 million.
It is also understood that Boca Juniors, a club from Argentina, had previously sought to buy the midfielder, but the intervention of the Eagles Football Group has made the deal increasingly difficult.
