But, in the process, the club halted transfers for two of their veteran players, who, despite being key players, have gone down the priority line for Eddie Howe. The two stars, Kieran Trippier and Miguel Almiron have been struggling to garner significant game time since the start of the new Premier League campaign, being replaced in their roles by young prodigies.
Although Trippier has been getting some game time, Almiron's situation has been much more complicated than ever. Apart from his Carabao Cup start against Nottingham, the winger has got a meager 2 minutes of play in the Premier League. Moreover, with Harvey Barnes, being the only consistent performer in the lineup this season, rising in the role, the Paraguayan star's chances have further declined.
Not to forget, Almiron had been much more open to a transfer move in the end stages of the transfer window; however, negotiations couldn't materialize significantly. In fact, MLS club Charlotte FC had been much closer to making his return to the American League possible; however, the club couldn't match the player's wage demands, halting the move.
At that time, Almiron's preference list was clear; he considered his MLS move much preferable as compared to making a Saudi Pro League move. However, recently, reports from Give Me Sport suggest that the 30-year-old would be open to hearing Saudi offers, depending upon what is being offered to him.

Considering the winger's situation at Newcastle United, it looks much clearer that, given the lack of minutes he is facing at the club, he would definitely opt for a potential move if a feasible offer arrives in the upcoming transfer window. While it does mean that Almiron might free himself from the situation he feels currently, it indicates that the Magpies would need to find replacements for him soon.
