FULTON COUNTY, Ga. – Paraguayan midfielder Miguel Almirón is making his return to Atlanta United, where he will join a team featuring several new faces, including a new head coach, president and CEO, and sporting director. The 30-year-old previously played for Atlanta from 2017 to 2018, helping lead the team to victory in the 2018 MLS Cup.
In 2019, Almirón transferred to Newcastle United in the English Premier League, where he spent six seasons. During his tenure, he tallied six assists and scored 23 goals, including an impressive 11-goal season in 2022-2023.
Two years ago, Almirón returned to Mercedes-Benz Stadium as a Newcastle United player for a Premier League Series match against Chelsea. He scored Newcastle’s lone goal in the 1-1 draw, receiving a standing ovation from the Atlanta crowd, who chanted his name in appreciation.
Chief Soccer Officer and Sporting Director Chris Henderson shared his excitement about Almirón’s return: “We’re thrilled to welcome Miguel back to Atlanta United and know we’re getting a top player and someone with excellent character.”
Almirón will be surrounded by a new group of teammates, with goalkeeper Brad Guzan being the only remaining player from his original squad.
Expressing his enthusiasm, Almirón stated, “I’m very happy to return to Atlanta United, a club and city that has always held a special place in my heart. I’m grateful to Arthur M. Blank and the entire organization for the opportunity, and I’m looking forward to reuniting with the fans at Mercedes-Benz Stadium and creating more moments of joy together.”
Almirón’s contract with Atlanta United runs through 2027, with an option for 2028. He will join the roster as a designated player and international signing, pending the completion of his paperwork.
