Howe tells PSR to hold him back and spit out Almiro.

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe has admitted the league’s Profit and Stability Rule (PSR) is having a major impact on his side. With the club reluctant to lose anyone. But could be forced to offload striker Miguel Almiron in a bid to save their finances football.

Newcastle Chronicle reports that the Magpies have accepted a £10m offer for Almiron from Atlanta United of Major League Soccer, USA. And are currently in the final stages of negotiating the finer details.

The Paraguayan star has had few opportunities in recent seasons, especially in 2024-25. Where he played only 13 games without scoring or providing any assists. สมัคร UFABET

The 30-year-old, who has 18 months remaining on his current deal has previously hinted at a return to his former club. With talks set to conclude a six-year spell at St James’ Park. 

The sale of Newcastle’s former players is in line with ‘PSR’ in case they can add more legs in the necessary positions. 

“We expect him to be available for training on Friday and be part of the squad for tomorrow,” he said at his pre-Bournemouth press conference (January 18).

“In his current situation, anything can happen.” 

“But my concern is that I want my squad to focus on Saturday’s game only.” 

“We don’t want to lose any players, but we know the truth that profit and stability rules are holding us back. So we have to manage the current situation.”

“I’ve said it many times over the past two or three weeks. We look at a lot of factors, not just from a football perspective. But the decision is based on what we have in the future.” 

In addition, Howe will not look for additional attackers. As he has opened a quota waiting for Harvey Barnes to recover from a thigh injury.
