‘He informed me he would like to join Manchester City over Saudi.’ Neymer Jr. has confirmed that his £70 million International teammate wants to leave his club in Summer because he no longer enjoys playing for his current Club

Recent reports have emerged suggesting that Bruno Guimaraes, currently plying his trade as a midfielder for Newcastle United, has caught the attention of Manchester City, with the Premier League champions eyeing a potential transfer move for the Brazilian maestro.

Guimaraes, an established figure in the Brazilian national team setup, has openly expressed his aversion to facing Manchester City on the field, likening the daunting task to feeling like “children” up against a formidable opponent boasting fifteen players. Despite the daunting challenge posed by City, Guimaraes has also voiced his admiration for City’s midfield stalwart, Ilkay Gundogan, a sentiment that dates back to their respective days at Borussia Dortmund.

With Manchester City reportedly considering a move for Guimaraes, the midfielder’s market value is pegged at a staggering £100 million, a testament to his status as one of the premier midfielders in the English top flight and across European football since his arrival at Newcastle under the stewardship of Eddie Howe in 2022.

Despite recently extending his contract with Newcastle until 2028, Guimaraes finds himself at the center of transfer speculation as Manchester City seeks to bolster their midfield ranks in the upcoming summer transfer window, as per revelations from Football Transfers.

Furthermore, reports suggest that Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola holds Guimaraes in high regard, considering the Brazilian as a “big fan,” indicating the Spaniard’s keen interest in securing the midfielder’s services.

While Guimaraes, a native of Rio de Janeiro, harbors ambitions of joining European giants Real Madrid or Barcelona at the culmination of the season and departing Newcastle, the likelihood of such a move remains uncertain at this juncture.

Despite a hefty release clause of £100 million that would be requisite for any potential suitors, Newcastle is purportedly open to considering offers from the Spanish powerhouses. Paris Saint-Germain has also emerged as a potential destination for Guimaraes, although a move to English heavyweights Chelsea or Liverpool seems improbable in the midfielder’s case.

Pep Guardiola’s praise for Guimaraes following Manchester City’s recent victory over Newcastle underscores the midfielder’s burgeoning reputation, with Guimaraes reciprocating the admiration by hailing Guardiola as “the best coach in history,” as reported by The Mirror.
