Brazilian midfielder Bruno Guimaraes plays for Newcastle United, according to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, who claims that Liverpool “highly” regard him.
During the 2022 January transfer window, the Magpies paid roughly £40 million to defeat Arsenal in the bid to capture Guimaraes from Ligue Un team Lyon.
At Newcastle, Guimaraes had a significant impact right away, and he has since established himself as one of Eddie Howe’s key players.
In his first 63 Premier League games, the defensive midfielder scored ten goals and provided six assists.
Liverpool and Chelsea were rumored to be interested in signing the 25-year-old during the summer transfer window, so Newcastle moved quickly to lock him into a lengthier deal.
A “release clause” will be included in Guimaraes’ new contract, Romano has confirmed. This information was made public this week. Guimaraes is expected to sign it.
“All sides have achieved a verbal agreement, which is now scheduled to be signed, most likely within the next 10 days. It’s official: Bruno will extend his contract at Newcastle, Romano informed Caught Offside.
“The contract will be in effect until 2028, making it a five-year agreement with a salary that is significantly more than his present one.
“A release clause is also present. Although the final payment has not yet been verified, I have heard that it will be somewhere around £100 million. Let’s see if it ends up being little more or somewhat less, but either way, there will unquestionably be a release clause and it will be near to that £100 million amount.
Guimaraes has “always been super appreciated by people at Liverpool,” according to Romano.
According to what I’ve heard, Bruno is very pleased with everything about Newcastle, including the supporters, the city, and the management. He is also quite pleased to have his contract extended.
“For Newcastle, it’s essential that Bruno’s contract be extended and that he receive a higher income. There is a clause because there is no other option: either a new agreement with a clause or nothing.
Bruno also wanted to stay because he really loves the club, but there was no possibility for any team in the summer because Newcastle dubbed him untouchable since day one. The provision will set the pricing going forward.
“Some fans have also asked me about the rumors surrounding Bruno and the transfer of Liverpool, but they are content with their current midfield.
“However, I can state that Bruno Guimaraes is well regarded by those close to Jurgen Klopp and has long been well-liked at Liverpool. At this time, there is nothing additional to say.
