Thiago Almada must replace Angel Correa if he leaves Atlético Madrid. The Argentinian midfielder from Atlanta United was on the list at Ajax for a long time, but he turned out to be unattainable for the Amsterdam team. Correa is facing a transfer to Saudi Arabia and is therefore in the picture in Almada in the Spanish capital.

According to Fabrizio Romano Atlético has been charmed by the Argentinian dribbler for a long time. Almada himself would also like to make the step to Europe and he can get that opportunity in Madrid. Atlético will only report to Atlanta United if Correa actually leaves. The 22-year-old Almada still has a contract until the winter of 2025 in the American Major League Soccer.
Correa’s transfer is not yet complete, but there is certainly a chance that the Argentinian will opt for a new adventure. Al Ittihad wants to report to Madrid quickly to tempt the attacker into a financially attractive move. The 28-year-old Correa still has a contract in Madrid until the summer of 2026. The Argentinian has been playing for Atlético since 2015, when he joined from San Lorenzo.

Last summer, Almada was the dream purchase for Sven Mislintat at Ajax. The people from Amsterdam expressed their interest and the Argentinian was also interested. However, the amount that Atlanta United asked for Almada turned out to be too much for Ajax.
