Miguel Almiron decided where he wants to go after he leaves Newcastle United

There has been a lot of speculation about some of Newcastle’s players this month and the future of Almiron is certainly up in the air despite Eddie Howe’s claim he wants to keep him.

Journalist Joel Bland has now claimed that while Almiron is not keen on a move to the Saudi Pro League with Al Shabab and Al Ahli watching over, he would be open to a return to Atlanta United.

Almiron decides where his future lies after Newcastle

It’s been five years now since Almiron joined Tyneside after a £21m move from MLS side Atlanta United and the Paraguayan is still a key part in the way Newcastle play today.

However, there’s a lot of speculation that his time in a black and white shirt may be coming to an end soon with multiple clubs eyeing up a potential move this month, though nothing is decided.

Howe is very keen to keep the ‘unbelievable‘ 29-year-old who he depends on so often to maintain such a high press, but this decision may be taken out of his hands if the club receive an acceptable offer.

But at the end of the day, the player also has to want the move and you get the feeling the club won’t force such a loyal servant out of the door if he doesn’t want to relocate his young family so far away.

Newcastle may be forced to sell someone

Bruno Guimaraes is just one yellow car away from a two-game suspension, leaving Sean Longstaff and Lewis Miley as the only fit and available midfielders at the club who have never been more desperate for reinforcements.

But, as we’ve been told time and time again, the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules mean Newcastle must find someone to sell before bringing in a new player, and Almiron is currently top of that list.

Kieran Trippier has already decided that he is 100% committed to the club after interest from Bayern Munich last week, but both Almiron and Callum Wilson continue to be chased.

Of course, Newcastle could decide that they don’t want to sell or buy anyone this month, but it would be a big risk considering how short of numbers they have been in the first half of the reason.
