Having just won the Copa Libertadores with Botafogo, Thiago Almada confirmed his wish to come to Europe in 2025. OL today seems the most credible option.
What will Thiago's future look like? Almada ? Like other Botafogo footballers, the Argentinian is destined to look elsewhere after the Copa Libertadores coronation obtained on Saturday. Like Luiz Henrique or d'Igor Jesustheir rating is increasing and the Brazilian championship seems to have become too small for them. But will they be forced to leave this winter or rather next summer, in 2025, when the New Generation Club World Cup has passed? The question arises.
Asked about the rest of his career, the 2022 world champion alongside Nicolas Tagliafico announced the color. “I don't know if I will still be in Botafogo next year. I really want to play in Europe“, he said in an interview with the media Ole et Blender.
He spoke with Tagliafico about OL
At the time of signing Fogo last July, John Weaver had indicated that his next destination would be Olympique Lyonnais. But given the financial situation of OL and the requests made about him, will he really come to wear the Rhone jersey? “When I arrived, I planned some time to then go to Europe, he confided. For the moment, I have an agreement with Lyon, which I spoke about with the club owner (John WeaverEditor’s note)which is the same as Botafogo.” He added that he had also discussed it with his teammate in the selection, Tagliafico.
While waiting to clarify this point, Thiago Almada and his partners have another title to win, that of Serie A in Brazil by the end of the week. It will then be time to compete in the Intercontinental Cup, the traditional FIFA club world championship, at the end of the year. The Rio de Janeiro team will challenge the Mexicans of Pachuca in the quarter-finals on Wednesday December 11 in Qatar.
