Martin Dubravka will stay at Newcastle beyond January after positive talks with the club, but Miguel Almiron is set to join Atlanta United.
Movement on Almiron’s proposed £10million return to Atlanta is expected this week and it is likely he has now played his last game for the Magpies.
But we can reveal that Dubravka will remain on Tyneside after reaching an agreement with club chiefs, meaning his move to Saudi Arabian side Al-Shabab is on hold.
The goalkeeper has started the last 10 matches in the absence of the injured Nick Pope and, while he had looked certain to leave after waving a tearful goodbye to fans earlier this month, the club decided that the transfer made little football or business sense.
