According to Mundo Deportivo, Atletico Madrid would only negotiate a transfer for Thiago Almada starting from a price of 20 million euros for half of his federative rights. Teams such as Benfica have received this response.

According to Marca, Benfica is interested in Almada as the club seeks to bolster its squad. Benfica has contacted Almada. Almada's main objective is to get playing time ahead of the World Cup, where Argentina will defend the title. Atletico is currently not yielding and is demanding a mandatory purchase option of more than 35 million euros.

Thiago Almada is interested in leaving Atlético Madrid to secure regular playing time, and Benfica is currently evaluating the possibility of signing him. The two clubs are in talks, but a deal is considered difficult due to Atlético's financial demands, which value a permanent transfer at €40 million. Benfica had previously targeted Almada in the summer, while other clubs like Palmeiras and Juventus have also shown interest.
