Newcastle ready to let £60m flop leave for free

The latest Newcastle news - The Magpies are looking to offload £60m due to PSR. So, Miguel Almiron set to leave Newcastle United for free.

Newcastle United are expected to make several changes to their squad during the January transfer window. The Magpies were cautious in the summer window because of financial restrictions related to Profit and Sustainability Rules.

Now that those concerns have been resolved, Eddie Howe’s side are ready to strengthen their squad. Fans can expect Newcastle to make significant moves in the market.

Newcastle news - Miguel Almiron to leave

One player who looks likely to leave is winger Miguel Almiron. According to The Telegraph, the Paraguayan international could move on in January.

Almiron has struggled for regular game time this season. He has made only one Premier League start so far. Players like Anthony Gordon, Harvey Barnes, and Jacob Murphy are ahead of him in the pecking order.

Eddie Howe has not used the winger much, and Almiron is now seeking a fresh challenge. The 30-year-old’s current contract with Newcastle runs until 2026. His deal also includes a release clause worth £60 million.

Almiron was close to leaving Newcastle during the summer transfer window. He was linked with a move to Saudi Arabia but could not agree on personal terms. This failure led to the deal falling through.

Now, it seems more likely that he will leave St James’ Park in January as Newcastle plan for the future.

Newcastle are looking to strengthen their squad when the transfer window reopens. The club have already been linked with big names, including former Real Madrid and Spain defender Sergio Ramos.

For the right-wing position, Johan Bakayoko is reported to be their top target. Strengthening this area of the squad could be a priority for Howe.

Miguel Almiron’s time at Newcastle United appears to be coming to an end. A lack of opportunities and strong competition have made a January departure likely.

Meanwhile, Newcastle are preparing to be active in the transfer market. Fans will be watching closely as the club looks to bring in new talent and improve their squad for the second half of the season.
