Shock exit close as Newcastle ‘reach provisional agreement’ to sell spectacular player; not Trippier

 

 

According to reports on Monday morning, Miguel Almiron is closing in on a shock move to Saudi Arabia.

 

As revealed by former beIN Sports reporter Ben Jacobs, Al-Shabab and Newcastle have ‘reached a provisional agreement’ over a deal for the Paraguayan. He adds that Miggy is also ‘open to the move’, but warns that a deal is ‘not done yet.’

 

The South American turns 30 next month and may be considered one of our sellable assets that could be sacrificed in our bid to manage FFP and the Premier League profit and sustainability rules.

 

Kieran Trippier and Callum Wilson have both received interest from Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid, respectively, in recent days. But reports on Sunday suggested the club were adamant both were going nowhere.

 

So, could it be Almiron who is moved on? Interestingly, Al-Shabab are not one of the Saudi Pro League clubs owned by PIF, although inevitable questions would be asked if the fee was big.
