Manchester City Pep Guardiola is keen on signing €115 million-rated star to improve Manchester City’s midfield personal terms has been agreed with the player almost done deal
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is allegedly interested in signing Newcastle United player Bruno Guimaraes.
The Brazilian number six has impressed since joining the Premier League from Lyon in January 2022 for a record €42.10 million. He has made 97 appearances for the Magpies, scoring 13 goals and providing 13 assists from a deep-lying midfield position.
According to fichajes.net, a contract for the 26-year-old would exceed €100 million. Despite the exorbitant price, Newcastle United will want to keep Guimaraes, forcing teams to satisfy the player’s €115 million release clause (via PSG Talk).
Guimaraes is under contract with his present employers until 2028 and plays an important role in the team’s structure. Although a transfer to the Etihad may be enticing given Manchester City’s recent success, the Brazilian would most likely have to play second fiddle to Rodri in that position.
Without guaranteed minutes, joining the Premier League and European champions may appear to be a dangerous move. Regardless, signing the midfielder will be difficult, as numerous other European clubs appear to be interested in him as well.
According to the article, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, and Chelsea have all expressed interest in signing the Newcastle United player. Guimaraes has made 40 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring three goals and providing seven assists.
Despite his achievements, the Magpies are currently 10th in the league and will almost probably fail to repeat their top-four finish from last year. This could lead the gifted midfielder to reconsider his options.
Manchester City defender John Stones is reportedly doubtful for Sunday’s Premier League match against title rivals Arsenal. The Cityzens are only one point behind the league-leading Arsenal and will aim to overtake the north London club this weekend.
Stones suffered a muscle injury while serving his country in a friendly against Belgium on Tuesday (2-2, March 26).
Stones lasted only 10 minutes against Belgium before being replaced by Liverpool defender Joe Gomez. According to the Daily Star, the centre-back is trying to achieve full fitness before Arsenal visit Manchester (via Metro).
This season, the 29-year-old has made 22 appearances for Manchester City in all competitions, scoring once and assisting once. He has already missed 12 matches for club and country this season owing to a previous hip injury.
