Miguel Ángel Almirón Rejala (born 10 February 1994) is a Paraguayan professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder or right winger for Major League Soccer club Atlanta United and the Paraguay national team.

[4][5] 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.

Playing as an advanced central midfielder, Almirón was pivotal in Lanús' 2016 Argentine Primera División title win, scoring key goals against local rivals Banfield in the Clásico del Sur,[9] and later in the final against San Lorenzo.

[14] The club also paid $50,000 in general allocation money to Seattle Sounders FC, who held the MLS discovery rights to Almirón.

[15] Almirón was an important figure in Atlanta United's first season, described as the "heartbeat" of the team by veteran teammate Jeff Larentowicz.

[18] Almirón joined teammates Greg Garza and Michael Parkhurst in the MLS All-Star Game on 2 August,[19] and topped the league's list of 24 players under the age of 24, released on 28 September.

He made his Premier League debut on 11 February in a 1–1 draw at Wolverhampton Wanderers, playing the final 18 minutes in place of Christian Atsu.

[38] On 21 August 2022, Almirón broke a goal-scoring drought by scoring an equalizer against Manchester City, following a cross from Newcastle teammate Allan Saint-Maximin.

Following a save by Gianluigi Donnarumma, Almirón seized the rebound on the right wing and, with a shot from his dominant foot, scored a goal that put Newcastle United ahead 1–0 against Paris Saint-Germain.

[59] The club paid $400,000 in general allocation money to Charlotte FC, who had acquired the MLS discovery rights to Almirón.

[63] On 5 September 2015, Almirón made his senior international debut in a 3–2 friendly loss away to Chile, playing the final nine minutes in place of Jonathan Fabbro.

[64] Manager Ramón Díaz called him up the following May for the Copa América Centenario in the United States, where he started two matches in a group-stage exit.

Seven minutes later, he received a straight red card for a foul on José Juan Vázquez in which he dragged his studs down the back of the opponent's leg.
