MIGUEL ALMIRÓN
Attacker · Atlanta United FC · Major League Soccer
“A direct Paraguayan attacker with a ruthless eye for goal.”
GoalPost verdict
GoalPost score (GPS)
GoalPost read
M. Almirón still offers value as a veteran attacker because his recent Newcastle spell and longer Atlanta United run showed usable attacking quality. His price stays checked by league context and an uncertain starting role, with his peak window now mostly behind him.

Analysis overview
M. Almirón works like a forward who never stays pinned to one lane. He attacks space with sharp, busy movement, then arrives in the box with conviction, making himself a constant goal threat rather than a decorative attacker. GoalPost’s boxToBox read fits the way he links phases and keeps driving play toward the area where he can finish it.
