“Newcastle United Eye Early Transfers with Almiron Set for Saudi Move”
It seems Newcastle United are aiming to complete most of their transfer dealings early this summer.
Considering Financial Fair Play, the club could have more flexibility if they manage to offload players deemed surplus to requirements.
Recently, both Elliot Anderson and Yankuba Minteh have departed, and it appears Eddie Howe is not done with player exits.
Sky Sports reports that Newcastle is in discussions with a Saudi Pro League club regarding Miguel Almiron.
At 30, the Paraguayan international is no longer a first-choice player for Newcastle when everyone is fit.
This is expected as the club focuses on building for the future with younger players, though it will be a hard pill for Almiron to swallow given his contributions to the club’s success, including a memorable performance against Paris Saint-Germain last season.
Although his experience could be invaluable, his position could be filled by a younger talent if he is only to be used sporadically.
The Saudi Public Investment Fund seems keen to make significant market moves to help their club reach the pinnacle of both domestic and European football.
While the specific Saudi club interested in Almiron has not been disclosed, it appears almost certain that he will soon depart the Premier League club.
