Newcastle United have received a new offer for Miguel Almiron - and the Magpies won't stand in his way if he wants to leave this month.

United have been approached by Almiron's old club Atlanta United of Major League Soccer. The Paraguay international has been unable to find a place in Eddie Howe's team and is free to leave.

Almiron had been the subject of a bid from Charlotte FC but despite winning the negotiating rights for his signature they have stepped aside and allowed Atlanta to move into pole position. Newcastle are understood to want £8.5million for his signature and his exit would bring the curtain down on his career on Tyneside after six years.

Howe had said on Almiron: "We're not blessed with a huge number of wide players so anyone that we have here is vitally important and Miggy has always proved for us how effective he is when he does play. I'd say the same for any player until the day that they leave that their future is here and he needs to focus on the next game."

His agent Daniel Campos had said: "They are willing to transfer him if they are paid what they want. I don't know how much the amount is and we refer all the clubs that ask us."

In August last year, Charlotte made a late approach to try to sign Almiron before their deadline. Almiron joined the Magpies under Rafa Benitez from the MLS club in 2019 for around £21m.

Almiron was named on the bench against Wolves but the writing is on the wall for his future.
