Bruno Guimaraes, a midfielder for Newcastle United, is supposedly available for Manchester United to contend with Manchester City for his signature during this summer’s transfer window.
There is now a lot of conjecture about the 26-year-old’s future because several of the top teams in the world of football are thought to be fans of the Brazil international.
After moving from Lyon to St. James’ Park in January 2022, Guimaraes has played 97 games for the Magpies, tallying 13 goals and dishing out 13 assists.
This season, the midfielder has been in excellent form once more, making 40 appearances across all competitions and tallying three goals and seven assists.
However, Newcastle dropped to 10th place in the Premier League standings after Man City eliminated them from the FA Cup on Saturday.
After the squad’s success the previous season, Eddie Howe’s team likewise failed to go past the Champions League group stage, so 2023–24 has been a lacklustre year.
Despite the rumours about his future, Guimaraes’ contract has four more years left on it, and it is not thought that he has any imminent plans to look for a transfer.
Man United is reportedly a strong candidate to sign the South American, although Man City is still said to have interest in him, according to AS.
According to the article, Dan Ashworth, who is set to join Man United as their new sporting director following his departure from Newcastle, is pressuring the Red Devils to make a move for Guimaraes.
It’s also thought that Chelsea and Liverpool are closely monitoring his circumstances at St James’ Park in anticipation of a possible summer exit.

Given the possibility of both Christian Eriksen and Casemiro leaving in the summer transfer window, Man United is anticipated to sign at least one central midfield player.
It seems improbable that the club will permanently acquire Sofyan Amrabat from Fiorentina, given the Morocco international has not fared well during his loan period this season.
Barcelona and Real Madrid are also rumoured to be Guimaraes’ admirers in Europe, although Newcastle, who will play West Ham United at home following the international break, is thought to be worth more than £100 million.
