Bruno Guimaraes”secret’ £60 million release clause is mentioned in transfer rumors for Newcastle.

All of the most recent rumors about the transfer of Newcastle United players, including information regarding Magpies standout Bruno Guimaraes and Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips.

Clause Bruno?
A number of first-team talents have recently agreed to new contracts at St James’ Park, including Bruno Guimaraes. The Brazilian international signed a new five-year contract after becoming an important member of Eddie Howe’s team since his hiring in January 2022.

Guimaraes has been open about his devotion to Newcastle and his appreciation for the Toon Army’s support. However, the’secret’ option in the new deal, which might allow the midfielder to join Barcelona for a reduced price, is rumored to exist, according to the Spanish publication Sport.

The reigning La Liga winners are experiencing financial issues, so a quick transfer for Guimaraes is probably out of the question. But according to the source, the Catalan giants might close the deal with a bid of around £60 million.

Phillips’ position
The former Leeds United player continues to be linked with a transfer away from Manchester City as he struggles to make an impact for Pep Guardiola’s team. The Magpies are one of the teams said to be interested, and writer Ben Jacobs provided an update on the midfielder’s thinking in preparation for a potential mid season departure.

“Newcastle, possibly West Ham, and possibly Villa, have all got one thing in common, which is that they are top half Premier League teams with that potential for Europe,” said Jacobs to GiveMeSport. And if Phillips does decide to leave Manchester City, which is still a big IF, I believe he is seeking for a solid Premier League club in Europe or with a very good chance of going into Europe.

I believe that if the appropriate offer is made to Man City, they would accept it gratefully, much as Manchester United did with Harry Maguire, but it also relies on the individual. Additionally, Phillips has consistently resisted any kind of hasty departure from Manchester City in the same way that Maguire did not ultimately reach an agreement with West Ham because he continues to believe that his time and his minutes will come at some point.
