Miguel Almiron’s agent has been a busy man over the international break, with Daniel Campos back speaking to the press about Miggy’s future following his goal-scoring performance against Bolivia on Tuesday night.

Previous rumours have linked the Paraguayan with clubs in the Premier League, MLS, and the Saudi Pro League, but the latest side tipped to pursue the South American are River Plate; the Argentinian giants the 30-year-old supported as a boy.

However, Campos has sent a warning to anyone looking to pursue Almiron in 2025, insisting a ‘significant offer’ that matches his wages on Newcastle must be met; otherwise he’ll remain on Tyneside ‘for a while yet.’

Campos said: “He has another two and a half years on his contract with Newcastle United. Unless another club makes a significant offer, with equivalent wages, he will stay on Tyneside for a while yet.”

Reportedly on £60,000 per week here at Newcastle, Almiron’s wages make him almost instantly unaffordable for the likes of River Plate, whose current highest earner is believed to be Manuel Lanzini on roughly £45,000 per week.

And if a move to MLS were to come to fruition, Miggy would also shoot towards the top of salary earners in the competition, highlighting a big flaw in his agent’s exit plan if he hopes to secure a move on similar money.

With his contract not set to end until the summer of 2027, Almiron is facing some big decisions. Does he stick around and continue to earn good money while struggling for game time, or take a pay-cut elsewhere to get his playing career back on track?
