If he gets offered a 4 year deal or a lucrative 2-3 year in Saudi then it would be surprising if he didn't go, tbh. Was offered a lucrative deal in Jan according to Ben Jacobs - and I quote "Saudi Arabia had an agreement in place for the transfer of Miguel Almiron but the deal ultimately collapsed because the player refused to leave the Magpies."

No brainer imo. Moving is the sensible choice Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Miggy loves the toon though and he’s a simple lad. We maybe need to send someone in to do some Saudi groundwork with his wife Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No brainer imo. Moving is the sensible choice Why didn't he bite in Jan? I just think he's settled in Newcastle - has a young family and sometimes that out weights anything else. I am just not convinced he would leave for a Saudi club and I struggle to see who else would come in for him. Edited June 13 by duo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it wasn't made clear to him that he was now surplus to requirements? I have no idea, honestly But I think if he stays - which he's perfectly entitled to btw - then he'll see his contract run out and he'll be trying to get a new club having played virtually no football from 2024 to 2026. That's a tough sell for any agent. It's clear we're after a shiny new RW and he'll have limited playing time for the next 2 years. I think he needs the move as much as we need the cash tbph Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funtime Frankie Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 I think there will be a number of sides in for him. There were links a few weeks ago to Ipswich and Wolves. I think there is a market for him in Europe such as Spain because what he does he does it well. I am hoping he has an amazing Copa America and increases the number of suitors. I think Miggy is settled and a move to Saudi will be very lonely unless there are Spanish speakers in the side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Ill informed, toxic take. The club wanted £30m for him but Al-Shabab only offered £17m according to the Guardian. Club still should've taken that, mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
