Real Madrid, Chelsea, and Liverpool have learned the value of Bruno Guimaraes.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Newcastle United may have to accept bids of about €120 million to part ways with Bruno Guimaraes. However, the Magpies have decided not to sell the Brazilian midfield monster. Real Madrid, Chelsea, and Liverpool are all interested in him.
Since joining Newcastle United, Bruno Guimaraes has established himself as one of the top midfielders in the Premier League. The 25-year-old came from Lyon in a €42 million deal. And he has shown worthy of Newcastle United’s investment 18 months ago.
The Brazilian international has become a talismanic figure for Newcastle United in the last year and a half, as the club has grown from strength to strength. Guimaraes has appeared 61 times for the Tyneside club, contributing ten goals and six assists. Meanwhile, the player’s development has piqued the interest of several high-profile clubs.
Liverpool tried unsuccessfully to sign Guimaraes during the summer transfer window. Chelsea and Manchester City were also interested in him. The former Lyon midfielder is still wanted by both Premier League heavyweights. Furthermore, Real Madrid has expressed interest in him.
Real Madrid’s interest in Bruno Guimaraes may come as a surprise. However, with Luka Modric and Toni Kroos nearing the twilight of their careers, the Merengues must invest in a younger midfielder. Real Madrid could be interested in Newcastle United’s talisman.
Liverpool, on the other hand, signed four midfielders during the summer transfer window. However, with Thiago Alcantara’s future uncertain, Guimaraes might be his long-term replacement. Meanwhile, Chelsea may not require another midfielder after bringing in numerous teenagers this season. Even if they do pursue the 25-year-old, he will cost a fortune.
According to the article, while Newcastle United would prefer not to sell Guimaraes, a price of €120 million could sway their decision. According to recent rumours, the Brazilian midfield juggernaut is on the approach of signing a new contract at St. James’ Park. So it will be interesting to see if Real Madrid, Chelsea, and Liverpool can throw a wrench into the Magpies’ plans.
