Winger’s sale could ease financial strain but leave squad thinKieran Trippier and Callum Wilson also attracting interest
Newcastle’s Miguel Almirón is the subject of interest from the Saudi Arabian team Al-Shabab. If the Riyadh club comes up with an attractive offer for a player who turns 30 next month it will leave Newcastle’s majority Saudi owners with a dilemma.
Selling Almirón could make financial sense for Newcastle as they strive to create room to invest in new players while remaining within the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules (PSR). Yet with Eddie Howe’s slender squad debilitated by injuries, losing the winger would make sense only if a suitable replacement were lined up.
