In January 2018, Argentine Primera División side Defensa y Justicia signed Almeida.[1][5][6] Two goals, against Racing Club (A) and Mitre (cup), in sixteen matches followed in his first season.[1] Almeida departed in January 2019 to join Belgrano.[7] He remained for twelve months as Belgrano suffered relegation to Primera B Nacional.[1] Almeida left in January 2020, as he agreed terms with Godoy Cruz.[8][9]
In October 2020, Almeida returned to his former club Liverpool.[10] He left the club again at the end of the year.[11] On 9 April 2021, Almeida signed with Nacional.[12]
