Guimaraes has been one of Newcastle’s most impressive stars since joining the club from Lyon in 2022. The 26-year-old’s displays have not gone unnoticed by other Premier League outfits, with Arsenal, Liverpool, and Chelsea reportedly holding an interest in the midfielder. Top clubs around Europe, including Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona, are also aware of Guimaraes, shortlisting the No.
39 as a transfer target this summer. The former Bournemouth boss explained the well-planned and structured approach by the club, emphasizing the need to avoid constant speculation as it is not healthy for the player or the team. He expressed the desire to keep Guimaraes, aiming to build the team around him, acknowledging his good form and contentment at the club. Eddie Howe hopes that Bruno Guimaraes will choose to stay at Newcastle and snub interest from elsewhere.
Guimaraes is likely to receive offers throughout the summer, and it remains to be seen whether interested clubs will look to activate his release clause or negotiate a deal with Newcastle.
