Miguel Almiron’s six-year stay on Tyneside has come to an end with a move back to Atlanta United having been completed. Almiron had seen his place in the pecking order slip this season, with Jacob Murphy’s stunning form of late helping to catapult Newcastle United back into European contention.

Atlanta United has completed the signing of Miguel Almiron from Newcastle United. The Athletic reported on January 15 the MLS side had tabled a bid worth £11million ($13.5m) for the 30-year-old Paraguayan who will return to Atlanta six years after he left the club to join Newcastle.
