Newcastle transfer news: Miguel Almiron move in doubt over Atlanta United playmaker’s ‘astronomical’ wage demands
Newcastle are considering pulling the plug on a deal to bring Atlanta United star Miguel Almiron to St James Park over his astronomical wage demands.Toon boss Rafa Benitez has identified Almiron, 24, as one of his key January transfer targets, with the Spaniard and his recruitment team working hard to get the transfer done.3

However, its understood the Paraguay playmakers wage demands, which amount to in excess of 100,000 a week, as well as agent fees, are proving to be major stumbling blocks.Club sources have described the figures involved as “astronomical”, with both parties a significant distance off an agreement as things stand.Atlanta president Darren Eales had earlier insisted he would only consider selling the player if the proposed fee “starts with a three.And even if he was referring to US dollars, that would represent a significant upgrade on Newcastle’s current record, set back in August 2005 when they splashed out 16m to land Michael Owen.3

Conflicting reports have suggested 25m may be enough to prise Almiron away.Even if that was the case though – and that is a big if given the current uncertainty over the club’s ownership – the wage packet and his agent’s fee could yet scupper the deal.Rafa Benitez, who has yet to sign a contract extension at the club, is well aware of the financial restrictions in place at the club.3

Rafa Benitez has identified the Paraguay international as one of his main targets in this transfer window

However, he was increasingly frustrated with the lack of investment in the squad over the summer, which has seen the side struggle in the Premier League so far this season – and just two points clear of the relegation zone.Unpopular owner Mike Ashley is in discussions with a consortium led by former Manchester United and Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon to sell the club this month.However, with no sign of the proposed takeover reaching a conclusion anytime soon, a decision will be taken on whether or not the transfer is viable on financial, as well as football, grounds.
