Reports have surfaced suggesting that Liverpool are considering a move for Bruno Guimaraes, a midfielder currently playing for Newcastle. While initially skeptical of these rumors, it appears there may be some truth to them.
Renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano confirmed Liverpool’s interest in Guimaraes on the Here We Go Podcast, acknowledging,
“There are many things, I wanted to start today with Newcastle. Congrats to Newcastle as they are playing Champions League football next season.
Newcastle want to offer a new deal to Bruno Guimaraes because they know that big clubs around Europe are tracking the player.
It is true that Liverpool like the player, but they know a deal will be almost impossible this summer, the same with Barcelona, but it will be very complicated to sign Bruno Guimaraes this summer.”
Guimaraes to Liverpool Possibilities
Barcelona are also keen on the Brazil international, who could be available for £87 million. If Liverpool were to pursue Guimaraes, it would pose a significant test for Newcastle as a club. While Newcastle has made impressive strides, Liverpool’s stature as a football giant cannot be denied.
The decision to stay with the Magpies or join Liverpool would weigh heavily on Guimaraes’ mind. Although Champions League football is on offer at Newcastle, Liverpool’s recent dip in form is an anomaly, and they remain a formidable force in English football.
Liverpool have made initial contact with Newcastle regarding a potential transfer for Guimaraes. This comes as the Reds look to strengthen their squad following the departures of James Milner, Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Arthur.
Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool’s manager, aims to reinforce the midfield position, and Guimaraes has emerged as a top target. The Brazilian midfielder has made a significant impact since his move from Lyon 18 months ago, playing a vital role in Newcastle’s successful fourth-place finish and their Champions League qualification.
Newcastle Unwilling to Part Ways With Guimaraes
Newcastle, however, is reluctant to part ways with Guimaraes. Recognizing his improvement and value to the team, they are eager to offer him an improved contract, potentially making him one of the highest-paid players in the Premier League.
“For me it’s important and everyone knows how much I like the club, the fans, the support. For me, it’s like having something to remember my country [Brazil].”
Guimaraes himself has expressed contentment with his current club and affinity for the fans and the support he receives. Nonetheless, the lure of Liverpool and their ambitions may test his loyalty.
