Football Manager 2022: 10 Wonderkids To Sign From South America
5. Thiago Almada
Club: Velez Sarsfield
Nationality: Argentinian
Position(s): AM(RLC)
Potential Ability (PA): 140 - 170
A fan favourite for a few years now it should come as a surprise to many that the young Argentine is still playing for Velez Sarsfield in Argentina. No disrespect to Velez but Almada has been linked with a move to a number of clubs in Europe for a few years now but no move seems to ever materialize. That’s music to the ears of virtual Football Management aficionados though as the attacking midfielder is a relatively easy player to get if the club you are managing has some pulling power.
Available for around £8million at the beginning of the game and boasting a PA range of 140 - 170 he should be one of the players to always scout at the beginning of a save and represents one of the biggest bargains in this year's game.
You will need to act fast though as the big clubs will eventually come calling, which at the very least will likely drive his price and wage demands up.
