Napoli are reported to be interested in bringing Argentine prospect Thiago Almada to the Stadio Maradona from MLS side Atlanta United in the upcoming transfer window.
Almada is an attacking midfielder by trade, but can also be deployed on the wing and has found the net in four of the six league games in which he has featured so far this season.
The 21-year-old was also included in Argentina’s 2022 World Cup winning squad, becoming the first MLS player to win an international world title in the process.
As per Calciomercato, agent Andrea D’Amico, who has had several previous dealings with MLS commodities, confirmed that Almada is a player who could potentially be on the move in the near future.
He said: “Thiago Almada? Yes, I also received confirmations in that regard. He is a player who, as far as I know, Cristiano Giuntoli likes a lot.”
