Thiago Almada

In August 2026, multiple reports confirmed an agreement between Atlético Madrid and River Plate for a €20 million transfer fee. Competing interest from Flamengo reportedly included offers above €20 million, with one report mentioning a preliminary agreement exceeding €27 million. Earlier, in June 2026, Al Ahli was said to have submitted a €27 million offer, while Napoli was reportedly willing to offer €20 million for 50% of the player's rights. In January 2026, his Transfermarkt value was listed as €20 million, while Atlético's asking price was cited as either €40 million total or €20 million for 50% of his rights. The player's completed transfer from Botafogo to Atlético Madrid in July 2025 was for a fee of €21 million.

Our valuation is driven by the highly consistent and recent reports from August 2026 indicating a completed agreement for Thiago Almada's transfer to River Plate for €20 million. While competing bids from Flamengo (reportedly up to €27 million) and Al Ahli (€27 million) establish the upper end of the plausible range, the player's clear preference for River Plate appears to have finalized the deal at the lower, but very firm, €20 million figure.
