An endless file. A privileged track of Olympique de Marseille during the last summer transfer window, Argentine attacking midfielder Thiago Almada had finally given his agreement to Atlanta United, an MLS franchise he was to join at the end of the Argentine season. While Vélez formalized the transfer of his 20-year-old prodigy at the beginning of December, the North American club was quick to respond by denying the information. Question of timing.
Two months later, the moment chosen by the AUFC to formalize the transfer, valued at 16 million US dollars (14 M€). “Atlanta United announced today that they have signed Thiago Almada from Club Atlético Vélez Sarsfield of the Argentine First Division on a contract until 2025. Almada will be a designated player and will occupy a place on the international list pending the receipt of his International Transfer Certificate (ITC) and his P-1 Visa”said the franchise.
