The race for Bruno Guimarães is heating up, with several top European clubs vying for the signature of Newcastle United’s Brazilian midfielder. The EPL Transfer Daily Podcast on EPL Index, hosted by Dave Davis, recently delved into the ongoing transfer saga. As the summer transfer window approaches, the speculation surrounding Guimarães’ future continues to grow. Here, we break down the key points discussed in the podcast, highlighting the interests and implications for Newcastle United.
According to Dave Davis, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), Manchester City, and Arsenal are all keen on securing Guimarães’ services. “Everyone knows about this release clause, don’t they? It’s £100 million,” Davis noted, referencing the significant buyout clause in Guimarães’ contract. The high release clause is a testament to the midfielder’s value to Newcastle and the level of interest he has generated across Europe.
Newcastle’s lack of European football next season, following Manchester United’s FA Cup win, could play a crucial role in Guimarães’ decision. “Newcastle naturally do not have European football,” Davis pointed out, highlighting a potential drawback for the Magpies in retaining their star midfielder. Competing clubs like PSG and Manchester City offer Champions League football, which might tempt Guimarães to consider a move.
