Eales says Almiron will not be sold for “chump change”

Ahead of Saturday’s MLS Cup matchup with the Portland Timbers, and with rumors of Miguel Almiron’s imminent departure for Newcastle United in January swirling, club president Darren Eales made clear that the Paraguayan international won’t come cheap.

In an interview with Sky Sports, Eales sounded off on the rumors surrounding his star player.

“I have seen some laughable things in the press, clearly we are never going to loan one of our players out and we are certainly not going to let them go for the ‘chump change’ that I have seen in some reports.
