Benfica is fully committed to promoting Almada s transfer, and is expected to be a deal of 40 million euros

On July 8, Binfica is making every effort to buy Argentine midfielder Thiago Almada, causing a stir in the transfer market. After the first 35 million euro price was rejected, the two sides became increasingly close to reaching an agreement after continuing negotiations.

Benfica's dialogue with the Eagle Football Holdings Group is in full swing, which controls both Bottafogo and Lyon. Almada was loaned to Lyon last season, and in recent weeks, he has returned to Botavgo when the loan expires.

In the past few hours, Benfica decisively offered 35 million euros to buy the Almada, but it was not recognized by Botavgo. However, this did not hinder Benfica's determination to advance the deal, and negotiations between the two sides are actively advancing around other amounts. Sources revealed that in the next few hours, Benfica is very likely to submit an updated offer of about 40 million euros, when the two sides will take a step further from reaching an agreement.

Thiago Almada is 24 years old, with comprehensive and extremely creative technology. Last season in the Ligue 1 and UEFA Cup, he played 20 times for Lyon, scored 2 goals, and sent 5 assists to his teammates, showing his outstanding offensive organizational skills. His flexible running position, accurate passing and excellent dribbling skills on the court have attracted many teams. If Benfica can successfully sign Almada, it will undoubtedly inject strong vitality into the team's midfield and further enhance the team's competitiveness in league and European competitions. The final result of this transfer tug-of-war has attracted much attention from fans and footballers. Everyone is waiting and seeing whether Almada will wear Benfica's jersey and embark on a new journey.
