Miguel Almiron Set to Leave Newcastle United

Miguel Almiron is on the verge of leaving Newcastle United, with Atlanta United pushing for his signature as talks progress towards a possible agreement. Newcastle has indicated they would allow Almiron to leave, especially since his playing time has dwindled under manager Eddie Howe. While the club initially sought a fee around £12 million, it appears they may need to compromise due to wage demands and market interest not meeting expectations. Despite this, there is growing confidence that a deal could be finalized soon, which would provide Newcastle with financial flexibility for future transfers. Almiron, who joined Newcastle in 2019 for a record fee, has been a fan favorite but is now seen as surplus to the team's needs as they aim to refresh their squad. The potential transfer marks the end of an era for the Paraguayan winger at St. James' Park, where he has spent nearly six years.
