How much is Newcastle planning to pay Bruno Guimaraes if he signs a new contract?
Bruno Guimaraes is likely to sign a new long-term contract with Newcastle United, increasing his earnings at St James’ Park.
According to reports, the 25-year-old is about to sign a new contract that will keep him at Newcastle until 2028. A release clause worth more than £100 million will be included in the agreement.
Amanda Staveley was apparently instrumental in getting Bruno to stay, and it now appears that the Newcastle co-owner’s words of encouragement were effective.
Bruno scored his first goal of the season in Sunday’s 8-0 triumph over Sheffield United, and he told fans that he would not leave during the celebrations.
And it’s simple to see why after hearing about how much money he’ll be earning.
Bruno Guimaraes will earn more money than anyone else in Newcastle United history.
Bruno’s new contract at St James’ Park will pay him more than £180,000 per week, according to the Athletic.
That will make him Newcastle’s highest-paid player ever, and it is a significant increase over the contract he signed when he first joined the club in January 2022.
He joined from Lyon for £40 million and agreed to a weekly salary of £120,000. Almost two years later, the midfield maestro appears to be in line for a significant wage increase.
It encapsulates Bruno’s significance to Newcastle and the owners’ vision. He’s the poster boy, and he’s been a game changer since he arrived.
It’s fantastic news that he’s extending his contract, and the wage hike will help Newcastle attract bigger names in the future. The club has been careful not to disrupt its salary structure, but the continuous growth will result in them attracting higher class players, which will be critical if we want to compete in the Champions League on a regular basis.
Bruno is currently destined to earn more money for Newcastle United than any other player in the club’s history.
