The Brazilian midfielder joined Newcastle from Olympique Lyonnais in 2022 for about 40 million pounds and quickly became a pillar in midfield. Not only playing the role of leader, Guimaraes is also an important tactical link in coach Eddie Howe's system.
Recently, Manchester United approached Bruno with an offer of about 80 million euros. Even Casemiro himself persuaded his junior to replace his position. Because when the former Real Madrid star leaves, the gap in the Red Devils' midfield will be very difficult to fill.
However, Newcastle not only refused to negotiate but also planned to extend the contract with Guimaraes, although the current agreement is valid until 2028. This shows the determination to keep the captain and continue to build a squad around him.
Statistics show the clear influence of the 28-year-old player. Newcastle has only won two victories in 16 Premier League matches without him, a figure reflecting a large dependence on Guimaraes' ability to regulate and control the pace of the match.
Coach Eddie Howe once highly appreciated his student: "He is at the center of how we operate the game. When he has the ball, he brings calmness and control that not many players can do.
In addition to Bruno Guimaraes, Man United is also targeting other targets. Among them, Sandro Tonali or Joe Gomez may be stars capable of shouldering the midfield for the red team. It is expected that the price of these stars will be around 50 to 80 million pounds.
