Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes is poised to become the focus of an intense transfer scramble this summer.

Since his arrival in January 2022, Guimaraes has been a revelation, contributing to 26 goals in 96 appearances, igniting interest from rival clubs.

Manchester City has reportedly made the first move, seeing him as a prime target and contemplating activating his £100 million release clause, according to Spanish outlet AS.

Despite his recent contract extension until 2028, competition for his signature is fierce, with Liverpool, Chelsea, and a potentially Ashworth-led Manchester United keen.

Bruno interest not limited to England

PSG and Barcelona, with a longstanding admiration from Guimaraes for the latter, are in the fray, though Barcelona’s financial constraints limit their bid to £68 million.

This upcoming transfer window promises a high-stakes tug-of-war for the 26-year-old’s services.
