He was a world champion, and now Manchester City and Manchester United want to sign him

Manchester City and Manchester United could be ready to fight for a world class player who has already won the World Cup and has some international experience to add to their teams. The player, who could mean a great acquisition in the Premier League, as he has shown speed and ability to grant his success at the league, has been recently linked with the two teams of Manchester, who are ready to face each other in the race to complete this promising signing.

We talk about the Argentinian 22-year-old Thiago Almada, who at his short age has been able to win the World Cup and share the Argentinian national team with superstars like Messi or Lautaro Martinez. Thanks to his proven quality and versatility to impact in any team attack, Almada, playing for Atlanta United in the MLS, has recently been linked with Manchester United and Manchester City.

The race for the player has already started at the city of Manchester. According to the Argentinian media, Manchester City and Manchester United have started talks with the player’s entourage, willing to make a bid for the player to Atlanta. Almada is currently valued at €20 million, which could be an affordable price to pay for both teams in Manchester.

The potential player’s arrival would impact on the city of Manchester

Thiago Almada plays as an offensive midfielder and has completed 18 games for Atlanta, scoring 8 goals and giving 9 assists in the last MLS season. The possible arrival of the midfielder would contribute to increasing the squad depth in any of the teams in Manchester and his potential could grant a great future for his potential new team. The negotiations for the player could take place in the next few weeks with a big derby of Manchester in which Citizens and Red Devils will fight to assure the arrival of this Almada.
