Newcastle United’s main priority this summer is keeping midfielder Bruno Guimaraes at the club even in the face of rumours linking him to Manchester City.
The Brazilian international, who joined Newcastle from Lyon in January 2022, has been an indispensable member of the team. Helping them qualify for the Champions League and reach the Carabao Cup final last year. The Magpies must hold onto players like Guimaraes if they are to establish themselves as a regular force in European competitions.
Newcastle face a challenge since the 26-year-old has a £100 million release clause in his current contract. At season’s conclusion, manager Eddie Howe stated that the clause is in place, however it expires in the last few days of June.
According to Chronicle Live as reported by Manchester Evening News, the deadline is today, Monday, June 24. This means that, should a club express interest in luring him away from St. James’ Park, Newcastle will have the ability to demand any price they see fit.
Guimaraes has been linked to some of the best clubs in Europe. One club is the favorite to sign him this summer, according to the bookies.

Guimaraes is thought to be most attracted by Premier League champions Man City, who Sky Bet has pegged at 5/6 to lure him to the Etihad Stadium.
Pep Guardiola is apparently anxious to add Newcastle’s top midfield player to his already impressive group of midfield players, which also includes Rodri, Mateo Kovacic, Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, and Matheus Nunes.
