Rafa Benitez remained coy when he was quizzed on Newcastle’s reported interest in signing Miguel Almiron.
We don’t talk about players.
Do you want to see Almiron join Newcastle in January?
Despite the intensifying reports linking the club with the Paraguayan midfield maestro, Benitez was in no mood to discuss rumours of a bid.
Several players have been linked with a move to St James’ Park in the new year, but Almiron has emerged as one of the club’s key targets.
I don’t talk about players, but I’ve heard that someone has said we made an offer and after, we said ‘No, we didn’t make any offer’.
Benitez is expected to be busy during the January window with the Magpies in need of added reinforcement.
