Manchester City is eager to secure the services of a top midfielder, with the tri-northern champions making a bid for a £100 million deal. Bruno Guimaraes has garnered significant admiration among Newcastle fans.
Pep Guardiola expressed his desire to bolster the midfield alongside Rodri, exploring various options including Douglas Luiz from Aston Villa and Joshua Kimmich of Bayern Munich.
However, City’s primary target is reportedly Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle, whom they consider to be above all others on their summer transfer wishlist.
When questioned about Guimaraes’ abilities, Guardiola lauded the Brazilian midfielder, describing him as an exceptional holding midfielder who showcases both assertiveness and aggression on the field.
Newcastle, on the other hand, aims to advance and integrate Guimaraes into their plans for the coming years.
Despite signing a new contract in October 2023 that extends his stay at St. James’ Park until 2028, Guimaraes is rumored to have a release clause exceeding £100 million, potentially providing City with an opportunity to secure his services if they are willing to meet the hefty price tag.
While Newcastle’s Premier League performance has declined since their Champions League campaign earlier in the season, Guimaraes will have the chance to showcase his talents to City this weekend as they face Guardiola’s team in the FA Cup.
