Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes has been linked with a move away from the club at the end of the season.
The 26-year-old Brazilian midfielder could be on the move this summer and clubs like Manchester City are keen on signing him. They will face competition from Arsenal and Liverpool as well. According to the Spanish publication AS, Manchester City have already taken the first steps to sign the player and they have met with his agents.
It will be interesting to see if Manchester City come forward with an official proposal to sign the player now. It is no secret that they need to bring in a central midfielder and Guimaraes would be a superb addition. The Premier League champions need more creativity and control in central midfield. The Brazilian will add just that.
He has proven himself to be one of the best midfielders in the league since joining Newcastle and the opportunity, to Manchester City could be quite attractive. He will want to join a big club of major trophies and Manchester City will be able to provide him with that platform.
Bruno Guimaraes on Arsenal, Liverpool radar
The report from the Spanish publication claims that the midfielder could be available for a fee of around €80 million. Meanwhile, Arsenal and Liverpool have sounded out the player regarding a move as well.
All three clubs will be exciting destinations for the player and it remains to be seen where he ends up. They will be able to provide him with Champions League football next season as well. However, the reported asking price could be a problem for clubs like Arsenal and Liverpool. They will have to improve the other areas of their squad as well and spending €80 million on the Brazilian might prove to be difficult. It will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds.
Liverpool will need to replace Thiago Alcantara who will be a free agent next month. On the other hand, Arsenal need to bring in an upgrade on the Italian international Jorginho. The Newcastle star would be a superb option for both teams. It will be interesting to see if he’s willing to consider a move to Arsenal or Liverpool, ahead of Manchester City now.
