Bruno Guimaraes targeted by European giants

According to The Telegraph, title challengers Arsenal and Manchester City are considering a move for Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes.

It is believed that both sides, who were knocked out of the UEFA Champions League at the quarter-final stage, are trying to target the Brazil international midfielder with both sides keen on bolstering their midfield options.

There is an expectation that any move for the 26-year-old could be in the region of £100 million with Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid also reportedly interested in the former Olympique Lyonnais man.

Arsenal signed a midfielder for over £100 million last summer in Declan Rice but are expected to be looking for improvements upon the likes of Thomas Partey and Fabio Vieira.

Manchester City could be undergoing something of a major shift and evolution in their squad this summer with rumours of Bernardo Silva, Kevin De Bruyne and Jack Grealish all potentially leaving. 

There is an expectation that Newcastle will have to make a sale in order to buy this summer as a result of Profit and Sustainability Rules in the Premier League as well as UEFA’s Financial Fair Play.

Bruno Guimaraes, who has been capped 20 times by the Brazilian national side, joined the Magpies in the January transfer window of 2022 for a fee believed to be in the region of £40 million.
