Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes has been linked with a move away from the Tyneside club this summer.
Clubs like Arsenal and Manchester City are keen on signing Bruno Guimaraes. However, the 26-year-old has now issued a statement on social media that he is very happy to start another season with the Magpies and he is committed to the club.
“I’m very happy to be starting another season with this club that has done so much for me since my first day here,” he wrote via 90min. “I’m glad to be back and more prepared than ever to have a brilliant season and to help Newcastle reach the highest possible position!
“Another dream has come true! Being the captain of this team is everything I’ve always dreamed of but never imagined! We’re in this together, and I’m sure I’ll be more dedicated than ever to this badge.”
It seems that the Brazilian international is ready to stay at Newcastle United beyond this summer. The development will come as a major blow for Arsenal and Manchester City, who were hoping to secure his signature.
Arsenal and Manchester City need a quality midfielder
Arsenal need a quality central midfielder like Bruno Guimaraes, who can help out defensively and control the tempo of the game. He would have been the ideal partner for Declan Rice at the heart of the midfield. It will be interesting to see if Arsenal decide to move on to other targets in the coming weeks. They will need to plug the gaps in their squad during the summer transfer window if they are serious about winning major trophies.
On the other hand, Manchester City need more depth in the central midfield as well. They will need to bring in a reliable partner for Rodri this summer. The likes of Mateo Kovacic and Matheus Nunes have not been at their best, and it remains to be seen whether Pep Guardiola can bring in the right additions.
Guimaraes has proven his quality in the Premier League, and there is no doubt that he would have been an exceptional acquisition for both clubs. The 26-year-old is at the peak of his powers, and he could have transformed the two Premier League clubs in the midfield. Meanwhile, Newcastle fans will certainly be delighted to see that one of their best players is ready to stay at the club despite interest from elsewhere.
