AC Milan have rekindled their interest in Thiago Almada as they strategize for the 2025/26 season. After completing a six-month loan at Lyon, Almada is expected to return to Botafogo, a Brazilian club owned by John Textor. Nonetheless, it is reported that he prefers to remain in Europe, which makes AC Milan a particularly appealing option for him. Almada's market value is estimated to be between €25 million and €30 million (approximately £21.3 million, $29 million, £25.6 million, $35 million). This is not the first instance of Milan's interest, as they also considered acquiring him during the January 2024 transfer window. Besides Milan, Atletico Madrid and several other clubs have expressed interest in Almada, positioning him as a notable figure to monitor in the forthcoming transfer window. His inclination to stay in Europe is likely to play a crucial role in determining his future move.
