Manchester City are ready to go all out to acquire the services of 26-year-old Newcastle United midfield mainstay Bruno Guimaraes.
According to a report by Fichajes, Manchester City are keen on reinforcing their midfield in the summer, and they have their eyes set on Newcastle United’s Bruno Guimaraes. The 26-year-old has proven himself in the English top flight, and City are considering making a €100 million move for him despite his high price tag.
Guimaraes’ rise at Newcastle United
Bruno Guimaraes joined Newcastle United in the winter of 2022 after proving himself at Lyon during his two years there. He was Newcastle’s first marquee signing after their famous takeover.
The 26-year-old has gone from strength to strength since joining the English club. He has been a consistent performer for them since then. Guimaraes played a huge part in their dominant run last season, which helped them return to the UEFA Champions League.
While the Magpies have failed to reach the levels they did last term, Guimaraes has still been a consistent performer. The 26-year-old was rewarded for his impressive performances by Newcastle United, who handed him a new deal towards the end of 2023.
While his new contract runs until the summer of 2028, there is a possibility of him making a move in the upcoming summer transfer window. Multiple top clubs from across Europe would love to have the Brazil international in their ranks despite his high price tag.
Manchester City keen on Bruno Guimaraes
The Magpies might not have any intention of selling one of their best players. But they are unlikely to stand in his way if a record offer of over €100 million arrives at their doorstep. Manchester City are one of the clubs keen on having him in their ranks, and they are considering the idea of breaking the bank by paying the required sum to land him at the club.
Manchester City are always on the lookout for ways to further bolster their squad. The treble winners are looking to reinforce their core, and they feel the Brazil international could be a great addition to their ranks for years to come. He has enough experience of playing in the Premier League and is the type of player that could easily adjust to Pep Guardiola’s style of play.
As per reports, they have already reached out to the player’s representatives regarding a possible deal. While City are keen on his signatures, it will be interesting to see if they end up forking out that big a fee for his services.
