The agent of Miguel Almiron says the Newcastle winger would have joined Atletico Madrid if the coronavirus hadn't struck.
The Paraguay international has come into his own over the past 12 months after taking some time to settle in after his record move from Atlanta United midway through the 2018/19 season.
And Almiron's agent, Daniel Campos, says the winger is ready to move to the next level.
"Miguel Almiron was being observed by Atletico Madrid but no offer was made. When everything returns to normal, Miguel will take a leap in quality," Campos told Paraguayan radio station Futgol 970.
"Miguel's work rate at Newcastle and Paraguay has been great. If it wasn't for the pandemic, he would have been elsewhere. Perhaps he would like to play for a team that has a lot of possession. Maybe in June, he'll make that jump."
