Where did Miguel Almirón go to college and high school?
Most footballers do not have college degrees before their football career due to the time and dedication that the profession requires, however, a great number of them have graduated from at least high school.
Miguel grew up in an impoverished family in the San Pablo neighborhood of Asuncion. He trained with Club 3 de Noviembre from the age of seven and trialed with other teams but was considered “too frail” by his coaches to become a professional footballer.
Looking a bit into his football career, Miguel plays as an attacking midfielder or winger for Premier League club Newcastle United and the Paraguay national team. Almirón began his career at Cerro Porteño and transferred to Lanús in 2015.
He signed for Atlanta United for $8 million, after winning the 2016 Argentine Primera Division. He was named in the MLS Best XI for both of his seasons in Major League Soccer, as well as MLS Newcomer of the Year for 2017.
Miguel signed for Newcastle for £21 million, a club record and the highest fee for an MLS player after helping Atlanta to the MLS Cup 2018. He made his international debut for Paraguay in 2015, and represented the country at the Copa América in 2016, 2019 and 2021.
