Thiago Almada has gone from an exciting signing to an open problem at Atlético de Madrid. The red and white club is seriously considering his departure just a year after investing around 21 million euros in him.

The Argentine's performance has not met expectations. He arrived to bring talent, change of pace, and final passes, but his season in LaLiga has raised more doubts than certainties.

Thiago Almada loses his place at Atlético de Madrid

Thiago Almada started the season with credit. His youth, his status as a world champion, and his good foot seemed to promise a significant competitive leap. The beginning even showed positive signs. His connection with other attackers generated enthusiasm at the Metropolitano, but that momentum lasted very shortly.

A muscle injury with Argentina slowed down his adaptation. When he returned, the team had already changed, and the player didn't find a stable place in the plans. Since then, Thiago Almada has been losing importance. Neither as a starter nor as a substitute has he managed to convince an increasingly demanding Cholo Simeone.

The Argentine coach has given him opportunities, but the response has not been enough. His stats, four goals and two assists, fall short of expectations.

Cholo Simeone no longer finds answers

Cholo Simeone needs reliable players, capable of competing every minute and maintaining Atlético de Madrid's pace. Almada has not provided that consistency. His match in El Sadar further fueled doubts. Starting against Osasuna, he was substituted at halftime after a performance without offensive impact.

Statistics harshly summed up his night: no shots, no dribbles, no chances created, and no decisive actions in the opponent's area. This scenario has also tested the patience of the stands. The Metropolitano has already shown its discontent with whistles and murmurs whenever he participates.

Thiago Almada keeps asking for the ball and trying to appear, but confidence seems shattered. His game has become predictable, insecure, and lacking the promised spark.

LaLiga exposes his lack of consistency

LaLiga does not forgive long adaptation periods. In a club like Atlético de Madrid, every match counts, and every mistake increases the noise. The Argentine was supposed to bring imbalance across the lines, drive, and creativity. However, his presence has been fading in crucial matches.

In the Champions League, his involvement was nearly testimonial during the knockouts. This detail clearly reflects his current position in the red and white hierarchy. The club knows there is still talent. It also knows that his contract until 2030 requires a strategic decision, not just a sporting one.

A loan option is not ruled out. It could help regain confidence and market value, especially if he gets playing time in another competitive project. But selling is gaining strength. If a reasonable offer comes in, Atlético might consider it to prevent further depreciation.

The sports management also views the World Cup as a potential showcase. A good call-up with Argentina would help sustain his valuation before the market. Thiago Almada faces decisive weeks. Atlético de Madrid is contemplating selling him, Cholo Simeone is not yet convinced of his key role, and LaLiga has shown that his performance is far from the price paid.
