Newcastle Transfer News- Almiron Agrees Move to Atlanta
Newcastle United and Atlanta United have settled on a transfer fee of about £10 million. In January, this is their first big move to bring in a player. Even though the price is significantly less than the £21 million Newcastle paid for Almiron in 2019, the move gives the club a chance to modify their team. Almiron, who has faced challenges in securing playing time at Newcastle this season, is ready to return to Atlanta, where he had a good spell.

Following Almiron's exit, Newcastle faces a crucial challenge. At present, Jacob Murphy is the only dedicated right-winger following Almiron's exit. For Newcastle identifying an appropriate replacement will be a priority as the club looks to improve its squad as it gets ready for important fixtures in both the Premier League and domestic tournaments.
For Atlanta, re-signing Almiron signifies more than just nostalgia. It is essential to their strategy for strengthening the team in preparation for the upcoming season. Newcastle's management is open to transferring players to achieve financial balance and adhere to Financial Fair Play (FFP) laws.
There were a lot of rumors that Almiron would be transferred, but Howe said that he would keep him in his plans until the deal is official ( Via The Shields Gazette)

"I think Miggy's head has been very, very solidly here,” Howe said when asked for an update on Almiron. “He's been brilliant in training this week. I've seen not one moment where I thought, ‘Oh, I need to address this or speak to him or have a deeper conversation"
As the January transfer market closes, everyone's attention will be on how swiftly and effectively both teams can react. Newcastle United will face the difficulty of finding a high-quality in the mid season.
