Miguel Almirón has completed a permanent transfer back to Atlanta United for an undisclosed fee, marking a return to the club he left six years ago for Newcastle United. The Paraguayan international, affectionately known as ‘Miggy,’ rejoins the Five Stripes after a successful Premier League run.

Almirón initially joined Newcastle in January 2019 for a then-club-record fee and became a key figure on Tyneside. Over six seasons, he made 223 appearances and scored 30 goals, earning a reputation for his relentless work rate and attacking flair.

The 30-year-old played a crucial role in Newcastle’s resurgence, helping the club reach the Carabao Cup final and secure a top-four Premier League finish in the 2022/23 season. One of his most memorable moments came in October 2023, when he scored in Newcastle’s first UEFA Champions League home game in over two decades, contributing to a 4-1 victory over Paris Saint-Germain.

Reflecting on Almirón’s departure, Newcastle United head coach Eddie Howe expressed his gratitude for the midfielder’s contributions:

“On behalf of the club, I want to thank Miggy for everything he has given us during our time together. He has been the ultimate professional and a big part of some of our most memorable moments in recent seasons. He is a great person, and we’ll miss him greatly, but this is the right move at the right time for him and his family, and we wish them well.”

Almirón’s return to Atlanta United brings excitement to the club’s fanbase, as he was instrumental in their 2018 MLS Cup triumph. His return adds experience and quality to the squad, making him a potential game-changer in Major League Soccer once again.

As he begins this new chapter, Almirón leaves behind a lasting legacy at Newcastle—one of passion, perseverance, and unforgettable moments. Now, Atlanta United supporters eagerly await the return of one of their all-time greats.
