This summer, AC Milan is not only looking to strengthen its front line but also plans to bring in a new creative force in midfield. Since Brahim Diaz’s departure, manager Stefano Pioli has been searching for a capable successor. According to Crickex Sign Up, Milan has now set its sights on Argentine prodigy Thiago Almada, who currently plays for Atlanta United in Major League Soccer.
Much like many Argentine talents before him, Almada may not boast an imposing physique—he even appears rather slender at times—but his footballing gifts speak for themselves. With exceptional footwork, close control, and creative flair, his natural ability easily compensates for any physical shortcomings. Operating as an advanced playmaker, Almada possesses explosive speed, sharp dribbling, precise passing, and a keen eye for goal. His offensive instincts allow him to create chances out of thin air and finish them himself. With grit and determination, the tough road ahead can become the very path to success. Perhaps most impressively, Almada is highly versatile, capable of performing as a winger, attacking midfielder, or second striker.
During the Qatar World Cup, Almada may not have been a core starter for Argentina, but in limited minutes he made a noticeable impact, catching the eye of top European clubs. Crickex Sign Up believes that if Milan secures his signature, he would be the ideal replacement for Diaz—young, skilled, and brimming with potential. Milan has already initiated contact with Almada’s representatives and is prepared to make a serious offer to bring the Argentine international to San Siro.
His current contract with Atlanta United runs for another two years, but the club appears open to transfer discussions. Still, signing Almada won’t be a walk in the park. Napoli, another Serie A powerhouse, is also vying for the 23-year-old attacking gem. Crickex Sign Up reports that if Milan truly wants Almada, they’ll need to move fast and decisively, or risk losing him to their league rivals.
Time waits for no one, and in a competitive market like this, Milan must act with urgency to avoid being left empty-handed. Almada’s blend of talent, versatility, and international experience could be just what the Rossoneri need to elevate their midfield and shape a brighter future.
