Newcastle open to selling Bruno Guimaraes to Real Madrid or Barcelona

Bruno Guimaraes, one of Newcastle’s most-influential players under Eddie Howe, signed a new contract with the Magpies only three months ago, with a reported £100 million release clause set therein. However, according to Football Transfers, the club would be willing to consider offers for less than that at the end of the season, but only if they come from Real Madrid or Barcelona.

On the other hand, the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain, who are all believed to be interested in the 26-year-old Brazilian playmaker, would have to meet the clause in full.

The report claims Guimaraes is keen to play for Barcelona, but the first and foremost of his desires is to play in the Champions League next season, which for Newcastle doesn’t look very likely at this point.

Since arriving to St. James’ Park in January 2022, Guimaraes has made a total of 86 appearances in all competitions for Newcastle, scoring 11 goals and producing nine assists.
