There has been much talk about Miguel Almirons leaving Atlanta for Arsenal this January, and now Bruno Pont, the official football correspondent for ABC in Paraguay, where Almirons originally comes from, has reported a talk with Almirons father quoting him as admitting that the Aersenal interest is real. This is what he tweeted…..
This translates as….Rubén Almirón, father of Miguel Almirón: “Arsenal’s interest in Miguel exists, this comes from Daniel Campos who is my son’s representative” # 730AM
But before that, Pont reported that Almirons father denied the fact. He said…..
Translation: Ruben Almirón, father of Miguel Almirón: “So far my son’s move to the Arsenal of England are just rumors, nothing formal until now, if they are interested they should get closer with the people of Atlanta United” # 730AM
So it is being reported as a fact in Paraguay, but I just think it is a bit strange that the father has suddenly decided to come clean after denying it. Saying there is “nothing formal” implies that there are talks going on in the background. If you believe in no smoke without fire then I am inclined to think we are still negotiating, and other conspiracy theorists might say that we wouldn’t have stopped the contract talks with Ramsey unless we had a replacement lined up….
What do you think?
