Atlanta United’s Thiago Almada May Have Boosted His Transfer Value Saturday … Without Playing

Of all the voices calling for Major League Soccer to stop through FIFA international match windows, Thiago Almada’s agent is unlikely to be one of them.

Almada’s value as arguably the most certain European-bound current MLS star has been in plain sight through his opening four games of the 2023 Regular season. The 21-year-old Argentine (who is already a World Cup winner) merely scored four goals and assisted four more to start the new campaign, helping his team earn 10 points from 12 in the process.
