BREAKING NEWS;Newcastle Star readying exit in January Amid MLS and Saudi Interest
It would appear Miguel Almiron is now surplus to requirements at Newcastle United, with the club thought to be very much open to offers for the player in the upcoming transfer window, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Just two seasons ago, Almiron enjoyed cult status at Newcastle, as his surprising run of goals and impressive performances helped the Magpies to a top four finish in the Premier League and a Carabao Cup final. However, with injuries hampering his progress and new players arriving at the club and making an impact, the Paraguayan winger has fallen down the pecking order, and looks set for a move away from England soon.
The 30-year-old is now a bit-part player in Eddie Howe’s squad, and there is expected to be approaches made from the USA and Saudi Arabia that could suit all parties, while there is also interest from Everton.
Miguel Almiron is a Wanted Man
That’s the view of Fabrizio Romano, who confirmed Almiron had attracted serious interest from clubs in the MLS over the summer, and that Saudi clubs admired his talents, too.
In his latest Daily Briefing, Romano said:
“I can confirm that, yes, there was MLS interest in Newcastle’s Miguel Almiron last summer. Saudi clubs also appreciate him but didn’t send any bid.
“Negotiations could follow in January, but for now there are no talks ongoing as it’s still October, too early. I’d keep the doors open to Almiron’s exit in January based on proposals received because he’s not an untouchable player at Newcastle.”
Naturally, any offer Almiron receives from Saudi Arabia could help him earn a significant pay rise on his £100,000 per week salary, and it’s unlikely Newcastle will demand his £60million release clause to be paid.
