Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp has reportedly ordered the transfer of Newcastle United Midfielder, Bruno Guimaraes ahead of the summer transfer window.
The deal is seen as an audacious one, as it does seem as though, the Magpies will not entertain any offer for the Brazilian International.
With the likes of Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and James Milner look likely to depart Anfield at the end of the season. The Reds’ boss has cited the 26-year-old as a probable replacement in the middle of the park.
Nicolo Barella and Mason Mount have also been touted for a summer move to the Merseyside giants.
However, according to recent reports from Spain as claimed by Team Talk, Klopp won’t pursue those targets unless he succeeds in obtaining the individual who is currently at the top of his list of targets.
The Reds manager reportedly holds Guimaraes in high regard.
The 25-year-old’s £40 million transfer from Lyon in January 2022 is perhaps the best acquisition Newcastle has made in recent memory. He has significantly contributed to the Tynesiders’ progress and enjoys a great deal of support from their followers.
Because of his performances for Newcastle, Real Madrid and PSG are frequently tipped for a move, among others.
However, according to the same reports, Liverpool poses a clear and present danger to that strategy.

Additionally, it’s been said that Klopp instructed Liverpool to put together an £88 million (€100 million) offer for Newcastle in an effort to persuade them to sell.
They would more than double their initial investment if they did that. Additionally, it might give Howe significant financial resources to bolster his team this summer.
Given that Newcastle are owned by the obscenely wealthy PIF funded by Saudi Arabia.
