Newcastle United forward and former record purchase Miguel Almiron will likely explore a new adventure in the January transfer window.
According to a report by Give Me Sport, Miguel Almiron does not have a long-term future at Newcastle United. The Tyneside outfit wanted to part ways with the Paraguayan international in the summer transfer window before a deal failed to see the light of day. The former record signing will likely explore a new adventure when the transfer window reopens in January.
Miguel Almiron and his Newcastle United journey so far
Miguel Almiron has endured a topsy-turvy ride since joining Newcastle United from Atlanta United in January 2019. The Magpies broke their transfer record to sign the South American forward, who embarked on his first foray in Europe nearly half a dozen years ago.
The 30-year-old has blown hot and cold throughout the last five and a half years, although he was one of the best players in the Premier League in the 2022/23 season. Since then, Almiron has not been at his best, compelling Newcastle United to mull over parting ways with him in the summer transfer window.
Fulham weighed up a late move for the Paraguayan international before ruling out a deal on the deadline day. So, Newcastle United failed to cash in on Almiron in the summer transfer window, with the two parties stuck with each other for the next few months.
What next?
Miguel Almiron has turned out over 200 times thus far for Newcastle United while chipping in with 30 goals and 12 assists. The South American attacker is now expected to seek a new adventure when the transfer window reopens in January as he looks to resurrect his stuttering career.
The 30-year-old has managed only 63 minutes of game time thus far this season, leaving him in a spot of bother. Meanwhile, Newcastle United will be glad to get his £60,000-a-week wages off the books if he leaves in the January transfer window. However, Almiron has a release clause of £60 million in his contract, although no club will likely trigger it.
Meanwhile, the Paraguayan forward should be an attractive option for many suitors due to his £60,000-a-week wages. It will be interesting to see if Miguel Almiron’s long association with Newcastle United ends in the coming months.
