Bruno Guimaraes has been linked with a move away from Newcastle United in recent months, with several top clubs interested.
A report from TEAMtalk has claimed that Chelsea, Barcelona, and Real Madrid are keen on signing Bruno Guimaraes. But Newcastle United are now unwilling to sell the Brazilian international in the summer transfer window.
The midfielder has a £100 million release clause in his contract, and it seems that the three clubs will have to pay up if they want to sign him. Bruno Guimaraes has established himself as one of the best midfielders in the Premier League, and he is an indispensable asset for Newcastle. It is no surprise that the Magpies want to hold on to him, contrary to recent claims.
However, if his suitors decide to trigger the £100 million release clause, Newcastle United will be powerless to stop him from leaving. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Chelsea need a quality central midfielder who can control the tempo of the game and add creativity to the side. The 26-year-old would be a quality acquisition for them. Meanwhile, Barcelona could use a technically gifted central midfielder as well, and the Brazilian international seems like the ideal fit.
However, they are going through financial difficulties, and it is highly unlikely that they will be able to pay a premium for the Newcastle star. As for Real Madrid, they will need to start planning for a future without Luka Modric and Toni Kroos. The Newcastle midfielder could prove to be a quality addition for them.
Bruno Guimaraes will find it hard to turn down Barcelona, Real Madrid
Guimaraes will want to compete at the highest level, and the opportunity to join clubs like Barcelona and Real Madrid can be quite tempting. It will be interesting to see where the 26-year-old ends up in the coming months.
The Magpies will be hoping to hold on to him for as long as possible. But they are unlikely to qualify for the Champions League next season, and the player could consider moving to a bigger club capable of winning major trophies. That said, Newcastle must hold on to players of his quality if they want to send out a statement regarding their ambitions as a club.
