Newcastle United is hopeful of re-signing star midfielder Bruno Guimaraes, who reportedly wants to succeed at the club.
Newcastle United is hopeful that Bruno Guimaraes will sign a new contract, according to Football Insider. The Brazilian International only signed a long-term contract in January 2022. The Magpies are eager to recognize him for his outstanding performances.
In the month of January 2022, all eyes were on Newcastle United. Following the takeover, they began their first transfer window. Most speculators predicted that they would blow the bank and spend lavishly. Eddie Howe was preparing for a possible relegation battle and wanted to make signings to avoid it.
Nobody could have predicted Newcastle’s plans as they embarked on a rather smart window to bring in key players. While the Magpies had a record-breaking window, they did not spend extravagantly. Bruno Guimaraes was their most expensive signing, costing around £40 million from Lyon.
Guimaraes proved to be an inspirational signing, completely changing the way Newcastle played. Howe desperately needed his presence at the base of midfield in his squad. The Brazilian international had five goals and one assist on the season.
His performances have piqued the interest of major clubs such as Real Madrid and Barcelona. The Brazilian international agreed to a long-term contract extension until 2026. As a result, Newcastle are unconcerned about the midfielder’s situation.
Guimaraes has maintained his performance levels this season, providing them with a foundation from which to compete for a European spot. The Magpies are fifth in the Premier League table, vying with Tottenham for a place in the Champions League next season.
Newcastle regard Guimaraes as untouchable and will reject any offers in the summer. They are open to bringing in a big midfielder in the summer to complement the Brazilian International. The Magpies also hope to offer the 25-year-old a new long-term contract to put potential suitors off for good.
Newcastle could offer the Brazilian international midfielder more than £100,000 per week. Guimaraes has previously stated that he wishes to have a successful career at St. James’ Park and possibly become a ‘legend’ at the club. “I hope to be a legend here,” he said. I believe this club has the potential to be a giant. When people asked me what my dream was since I was 15, I always said it was to play in the Premier League one day.”
If the £100,000-per-week reports are true, Guimaraes will be one of the club’s highest-paid players. The question of how soon they will reach an agreement remains, but work on the extension has undoubtedly begun in the background.
