Liverpool, keen on bolstering their midfield, are closely monitoring the situation surrounding Newcastle United’s Bruno Guimaraes.
The Brazilian midfielder, a known target for the Reds, might now be within reach as financial concerns grip Newcastle.
Recent reports of Newcastle United revealing losses amounting to £73.4 million have sparked speculation that the club may be compelled to offload key assets to alleviate Financial Fair Play anxieties.
Bruno Guimaraes, a prized player for the Magpies, is now speculated to be one of the players on the transfer radar.
AS, in a report on Guimaraes’ future, has disclosed that the midfielder allegedly agreed to a release clause of €115 million (£98 million), payable in three instalments of €38 million (£32 million).
The Newcastle board is reportedly considering Guimaraes as part of their strategy to “settle accounts,” and Premier League teams, including Liverpool, have the liberty to trigger his exit valuation.
The 26-year-old midfielder, who signed a contract extension with Newcastle in October, is now a sought-after target not only for Liverpool but also for Paris Saint-Germain.
PSG are expected to rekindle their interest in the player next summer, while Barcelona and Chelsea are also listed as potential destinations.
Guimaraes’ contract extension with Newcastle ties him to St James’ Park until 2028. Newcastle’s manager, Eddie Howe, expressed his delight at securing the player’s long-term commitment, emphasizing Guimaraes’ significant contributions to the club since his arrival.
As the summer transfer window approaches, Liverpool remains watchful, poised to capitalize on Newcastle’s financial predicament to secure the services of Bruno Guimaraes for their revamped midfield.
