Thiago Almada showed interest in the possibility of playing for Boca Juniors in the future. He noted that Riquelme had congratulated him following his Libertadores victory, and they discussed the possibility of him joining Boca Juniors. Nonetheless, Almada had already committed to Botafogo at that time, complicating any potential move. Almada, who excelled as a player for Botafogo during their Brasileirão and CONMEBOL Libertadores triumphs, had a pre-existing agreement to transfer to Lyon, a club also owned by John Textor, which he is set to join on January 5, 2025. Despite his interest in Boca Juniors, his main focus in Argentina remains with Vélez.
