WilliamPS Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 3.5m left on the books seems about right. He was signed in 2019 for 21m on a 5 and a half year deal then signed a new contract in 2023 for 3.5 years So by the time he signed his new contract his 21m fee had amortised 15m, (21/5.5 x4) leaving 6m on the books. Hes 18 months into that new deal, so that’ll be down to a rough 3.5m Btw that also makes him, in PSR terms very cheap Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if Madueke is going to cost £30m over 5 years then the magic number is somewhere in the region of £10m for Almiron. So effectively we're looking at Charlotte doubling their club transfer record. Will be interesting to see if it happens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing I see is that it's cost us at least £15m. At this point not really arsed if he goes to some other club for a nominal fee, we've ended up selling players I'd much rather have kept because he stayed.

I’ll never forget the effort and purple patch but he’s symptomatic of us extending deals when we should have cashed in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joelinton7 Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Can see him going on loan. Is that allowed? To MLS? A loan? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone is either going to need to pay the fee that gives us the PSR space to buy a replacement or he's going to spend the year competing with Murphy for our RW spot.

matta Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 I love Almiron, hard working great little grafter that has been a fucking joy to watch. And also frustrating at times. I will miss him if he is going, but i can understand. Best of luck Miguel, whatever the outcome of this summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 I can well imagine Miggy fancying a move to the MLS. He's 31 this season and he's not going to move up. Be a big name there, familiar, and culturally the US will be appealing to him I imagine - compared to here and especially compared to Saudi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 On the upside the MLS make up the rules and change them whenever they want. Being a former MLS legend at Atlanta and still being somewhat in his prime, it wouldn't surprise me to see the MLS help maken it happen. Fingers crossed.

Sibierski Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 So were Man Utd with Ashworth, and that moved quick when we blinked. Think if club wants rid, and there’s someone genuinely interested, a deal will be made. Not like the value is going to be there next summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 I think much will depend on how much Eddie rates him. If he doesn’t want to lose Miggy a paltry offer won’t help to convince him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always best to buy the successor before selling the predecessor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
