Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes could leave St. James’ Park this summer.
According to GIVEMESPORT sources, Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes is the’most probable’ player to leave St. James’ Park during the summer transfer window in 2024.
The Magpies hope to retain their top talent during the forthcoming transfer window, but they are under pressure to comply with the Premier League’s profit and sustainability regulations.
Eddie Howe’s side has experienced a slew of injuries and bans throughout the 2023/24 season, making a second consecutive top-four finish and eventual Champions League qualification all but impossible. Guimaraes may look for a new club as he strives for consistent success.
Guimaraes viewed as Newcastle’s ‘most likely’ exit
A Premier League transfer seems doubtful
According to GMS sources, Guimaraes is emerging as the major figure who is’most likely’ to leave Newcastle this summer. The Magpies are under pressure to comply with the Premier League’s profit and sustainability regulations, and they may have to sanction a high-profile exit this summer. Everton and Nottingham Forest have previously had points deducted for violating the rules.
Guimaraes’ contract with Newcastle has a £100 million release clause, which co-owner Amanda Staveley personally intervened to resolve. However, GMS sources believe that this sum puts him out of reach for nearly every Premier League team. Chelsea and Manchester City, who might afford him, aren’t interested right now, and other great teams just can’t afford to pay that much money.
Newcastle United do not want to lose Guimaraes and are eager to keep their star midfielder, expecting that he will be in the proper frame of mind to go again next season following a disappointing follow-up campaign to last season’s fourth-place finish in the Premier League and appearance in the Carabao Cup final. However, our sources indicate that there must be some’realism’ in their condition, implying that a significant departure is inevitable.
Guimaraes attracting European interest
PSG and Real Madrid have been linked with a move.
According to GMS sources, Guimaraes, who Eddie Howe described as ‘unbelievable’, is being scouted by Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid. According to reports, the 26-year-old’s only two viable options are the European powerhouses.
Guimaraes is keen to win trophies and could nearly guarantee significant prizes at both PSG and Madrid, both of which play at the top of their domestic leagues and in the Champions League’s later stages. The Brazil international is focused on the Copa America this summer, but his future will be a hot issue coming into the transfer market.
