Newcastle’s Miguel Almirón agrees $12m deal with Atlanta United until 2029

Paraguayan winger Miguel Almirón is set to rejoin Major League Soccer’s Atlanta United from Newcastle United.

The two clubs have reportedly agreed on a transfer fee ranging between £8 million and £10 million (approximately $12 million) for the 30-year-old.

Almirón initially joined Newcastle in January 2019 after a standout tenure with Atlanta United, where he was instrumental in securing the MLS Cup in 2018.

During his time in England, he made 222 appearances and netted 30 goals, playing a vital role in Newcastle’s qualification for the Champions League in the 2022/2023 season.

However, this season has seen a decline in his playing time, prompting his decision to return to the United States.
