Barcelona are interested in acquiring the service of the 26-year-old Newcastle United star midfield Bruno Guimaraes.
According to a report by Fichajes, Barcelona are keen on reinforcing their midfield in 2024 and they have their eyes set on Bruno Guimaraes. The Catalan giants want to add more depth as well as quality to their ranks and they believe the 26-year-old Newcastle United midfielder could be a great fit for the club.
After a two-year-long successful stint at Olympique Lyon, Guimaraes joined Newcastle United in the winter of 2022. He has gone from strength to strength since joining the club and is currently one of the mainstays of the team.
Overall, he has featured in 79 matches for the Magpies and has even contributed towards 19 goals. 21 of his appearances have come in the ongoing season as he has racked up close to 1800 minutes. His impressive and consistent performances have resulted in a lot of interest from across Europe.
Barcelona are one of the clubs interested in the 26-year-old. The Catalan giants have revived themselves under Xavi. They managed to win the league last season and have built a strong overall squad despite the ongoing financial crisis.
Despite that, the Spanish manager is someone who is always on the lookout for players who can bolster it further. He feels the Brazil international could do wonders for them. His arrival will add depth and it will also give Howe multiple options to work with.
His ability on the ball, his vision and his ability to recover balls make him an ideal fit for the Spanish giants. The Catalan giants already have high-quality midfielders and Guimaraes’ arrival could do wonders. However, it won’t be easy for Barcelona to acquire his services.
Newcastle consider him a very important part of their plans and they have no intentions of negotiating his departure. The Magpies are unlikely to sanction a sale irrespective of the kind of offer they are present with. Eddie Howe’s team are well in control of the situation as the player has well over four years left on his deal.
