Miguel Almiron's Newcastle United exit terms revealed as star faces January questions

Miguel Almiron's agent Daniel Campos has been at work with the media in South America as the demands for the star's exit were laid down over the international break.

Almiron used the World Cup qualifier against Bolivia to put himself in the shop window by grabbing a goal in a 2-2 draw in El Alto. But in a fortnight that has already resulted in Campos revealing Almiron's contract was extended to 2027, it has now become clear what terms are needed for him to leave the club.

Last summer Newcastle knocked back a bid of around £14million from Major League Soccer side Charlotte FC. Reports in South America are now suggesting that a fee of £18m, plus matching Almiron's £60,000 per week wages, could be needed to release him from United.

The big suggestion is that Argentinian side River Plate are keen to sign Almiron but that won't happen unless Newcastle's demands are met.

Campos said: "So, it looks like he has another two and a half years left on his contract with Newcastle United and that, unless some other club makes a significant offer, with commensurate wages, he will stay on Tyneside for a while yet."

Almiron has never hidden his admiration for River Plate and has even indicated that the Argentinian side would represent a dream move for him. Almiron said: "When I was a kid I watched all the games, I was a big fan because my father's family is Argentine. Whenever I can and when time allows, I watch the games with my family. I always wanted to play for River, it's one of my greatest dreams."
