The move shattered the Magpies’ previous highest fee paid for a player, which was £16.8m for Michael Owen from Real Madrid back in 2005.
However, Newcastle fans will have to be patient before they see Almiron in action with the playmaker yet to collect his visa following his switch from the US.
The playmaker should have no trouble obtaining the necessary paperwork due to his 12 international caps and his sizeable transfer fee, although his debut is now likely to be against Wolves on February 11.
Fellow deadline day arrival Antonio Barreca is available after joining on loan from Monaco.
The Italian has an automatic right to work in the UK due to being an EU citizen, although Rafael Benitez is unlikely to risk the 23-year-old having barely trained with the first team.
Instead, the Toon boss is likely to start the same XI that achieved a shock victory over defending champions Manchester City last time out.

Fabian Schar, Jamaal Lascelles and Florian Lejeune will line up in central defence while DeAndre Yedlin and Matt Ritchie should operate as wing backs.
Isaac Hayden and Sean Longstaff are likely to continue in central midfielder, although Jonjo Shelvey and Mohamed Diame are in contention to return from injury.
Paul Dummett is also closing in on a comeback but Yoshinori Muto is still away at the Asian Cup while Joselu, Ki Sung-yueng, Rob Elliot and Karl Darlow are on the treatment table.
Salomon Rondon will continue as a lone frontman while Ayoze Perez and Christian Atsu are set to offer the Magpies striker support from out wide.
