A great architect of Botafogo's historic season, Thiago Almada has a good chance of joining OL on loan during the month of January. John Textor is ready to do anything to send the Argentinian nugget to Lyon.
Author of a full season with 9 goals and 3 assists in 43 matches under the colors of Botafogo, Thiago Almada was one of the great architects of the exceptional season of the Brazilian club, winner of the championship and the Copa Libertadores. Like Luiz Henrique, the Argentinian world champion was sent to Olympique Lyonnais with insistence. In the case of Thiago Almada, we can even say that his arrival in the capital of Gaul is imminent and should materialize in January, barring a major turnaround in the situation. John Textor, owner of Botafogo and OL, is in any case obsessed with the idea of sending the former Atlanta playmaker to his Ligue 1 club.
Botafogo refused 20 ME from Atletico Madrid
The proof, the UOL media in Brazil affirms that Botafogo refused in the last few hours a very good offer from Atlético de Madrid, which has recruited many Argentine players in recent years under the leadership of Diego Simeone and who has proposed 20 million euros for Thiago Almada. A very honest offer… but refused by John Textor, who absolutely wants his player to strengthen the ranks of Olympique Lyonnais during this winter transfer window. UOL also confirms that the loan of Thiago Almada in the capital of Gaul has a strong chance of materializing in the coming days.
A trend which confirms the information recently provided by Hugo Guillemet, journalist for L'Equipe, who explained that Thiago Almada had a strong chance of signing on loan at Olympique Lyonnais during the month of January. Before a potential final transfer next summer, if the DNCG decides to lift the restrictions against Les Gones in June.
