Overview
- Argentine reporter Gastón Edul says Palmeiras are the most advanced suitor after a formal offer, with a January move described as very feasible and subject to Almada’s approval.
- Atlético are reported to be open to a sale if they can recoup roughly the €21 million paid in the summer, with Brazilian reports indicating Palmeiras could meet the price.
- Almada has struggled for continuity under Diego Simeone following an early injury and has largely appeared off the bench since returning.
- A separate move is progressing for Giacomo Raspadori, with Roma reported to have an agreement for a loan that includes a purchase option near €23 million.
- No club has announced an agreement for Almada, and discussions remain ongoing as he considers his options this month.
