It appears that Miguel Almirón will remain with Newcastle for the foreseeable future as Al-Shabab, a team from the Saudi Pro League, was unable to finalize an agreement for the Paraguayan player.

However, despite ongoing negotiations and an initial offer of £17m being turned down, it appears that Al-Shabab, who are on the verge of securing the signature of Sevilla’s Ivan Rakitić, were unable to come to an agreement.
Eddie Howe’s chances of making new signings this month depend on other players leaving the club, as Newcastle must adhere to the Premier League’s financial regulations. A bid from Bayern Munich for Kieran Trippier was turned down earlier this month, and Callum Wilson, who was also made available for transfer, has not received any offers yet.
