117 Liverpool are one of the clubs expected to try and sign Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes in the summer transfer window.
The Brazilian has made a fantastic name for himself in the Premier League. He has been brilliant for Newcastle, and Liverpool’s interest in Guimaraes hasn’t gone away.
Liverpool expected to make move to sign Bruno Guimaraes
Newcastle United signed Bruno Guimaraes from Olympique Lyon for £40 million in January 2022 (Sky Sports).
The Brazilian became an instant fan favourite at St James’ Park. Everybody at the club loves him, and he is arguably their best player when he is fit.
Guimaraes signed a new five-year contract at Newcastle United in October last year. AS claimed on Friday that the Magpies have included a £100 million release clause in his deal that can be paid in three instalments.
The report reveals that Manchester City are really keen to sign Guimaraes in the summer transfer window, but they aren’t the only club in the race.
It has been claimed that Liverpool, who have been linked with a move to sign Guimaraes in the past, are ‘expected to return’ this summer, as are Chelsea. Manchester United could make a move to get him too after they appoint Dan Ashworth, who ‘is in love’ with the Brazilian’s game.
Liverpool and the other interested Premier League sides face competition from abroad as well. Paris Saint-Germain want him, but the report claims Barcelona remain Guimaraes’ dream destination.
Jurgen Klopp is a fan of Bruno Guimaraes
Jurgen Klopp will not be at the helm at Liverpool next season, but we’re sure he would approve if the Reds asked him for his opinion on Bruno Guimaraes.
The German has tried to sign the Newcastle United midfielder before, but a deal never materialised. However, he hasn’t kept his admiration for the Brazilian a secret.
Speaking ahead of a game against the Magpies in February last year, Klopp branded Guimaraes as a ‘massive player’ for Newcastle (Liverpool’s official website).
The Brazilian, unfortunately, missed that game due to an ankle injury, but Klopp’s opinion still stands – he really is a ‘massive player’ for whichever team he plays.
