Manchester United are keen on signing Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes, but they will face competition from Chelsea and Liverpool.
Bruno Guimaraes has established himself as one of the best players in the league, and a report from Fichajes has claimed that Manchester United, Chelsea, and Liverpool are keen on securing his services at the end of the season.
It is no secret that Manchester United need to bring in a quality central midfielder who will help control the tempo of the game and add creativity to the side. They have missed a top-quality central midfielder this season.
Bruno Guimaraes is certainly one of the best options around, and he should prove to be a quality acquisition for the Red Devils. But Manchester United might not secure Champions League qualification for next season. So, it will be interesting to see if they can attract a top-quality player like him without Champions League football. Meanwhile, Chelsea are keen as well.
There have been rumours that Chelsea could look to sell Conor Gallagher at the end of the season, and they will have to replace him adequately. Bruno Guimaraes could prove to be an upgrade on the 24-year-old midfielder next season. The Brazilian could form a quality partnership with Enzo Fernandez at the heart of the Chelsea midfield.
However, Chelsea have had a very disappointing season so far, and they are in the mid-table positions. Guimaraes will probably want to join a club competing in the UEFA Champions League and capable of winning major trophies. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
Bruno Guimaraes can replace Thiago Alcantara at Liverpool
Liverpool will have to replace Thiago Alcantara, who will be a free agent in the summer. The Newcastle United midfielder can thus be a sensational addition to the Liverpool midfield.
The Reds are likely to compete in the Champions League next season, and they have a proven track record of competing for trophies regularly as well. A move to Anfield would be an exciting opportunity for Bruno Guimaraes, and it remains to be seen whether Liverpool can beat the competition from Manchester United and Chelsea.
The midfielder is unlikely to be a cheap acquisition, and all three clubs will have to pay a premium for him. He has a £100 million release clause in his contract with Newcastle. The Magpies are likely to demand the clause to be paid in full. Meanwhile, Manchester City are keeping tabs on him as well.
