Newcastle United fans have demanded the club cash in on Miguel Almiron after his performance for Paraguay against Costa Rica.

Almiron was substituted at half-time during the 2-1 defeat after picking up a yellow card and turning in a frustrating performance.

The loss meant Paraguay finished bottom of their group in the Copa America and failed to pick up a single point across their three games.

As a result, fans of the national team have begun to turn on him, and Newcastle fans have called to cash in amid interest from Saudi Arabian clubs.

Newcastle United told to cash in on Miguel Almiron after Paraguay performance

Football Insider revealed on 25 June that Almiron is expected to leave St James' Park this summer, with the club looking to sign a new right winger.

Supporters have now hit out at Almiron after his poor Copa America displays, labelling the winger "dreadful" and calling for the club to accept offers for his signature.

Bro he’s crazy bad. I can’t wait to get rid. Yeah he’s a nice guy and all and has a family and all that nice stuff but so does everyone. Get this guy out of our club I’m sick of seeing his smile after he makes a mistake. Paraguay can only wish for his retirement.

He’s had a dreadful 12 months. Take 10m and I’m happy, otherwise he’s a dread weight for 2 years.

Got to the point now where even Eddie Howe is freezing him out by the looks of it.

Time to get ruthless or we won't progress.

People acting like but Miggy this Miggy that. The lad is getting 80K a week and has like 6 assist in 6 seasons.

We owe him nothing.

Many, meanwhile, agreed with the frustrations of Paraguay fans as they were not surprised by the renewed anger towards Almiron.

Now they know how frustrating he's been for 80% of him time with us. All heart and his purple patch ultimately played a big part in getting us to the Top 4 but other than that not been a very successful signing

Unfortunately not a shock, great trier but ultimately delivers nothing

No suprise. He's poor. They can't exactly not play him either at their talent pool is shallow.
