According to the Liverpool Echo, Newcastle’s sporting director is avoiding reacting to Bruno Guimaraes’ transfer request, which comes after Bruno Guimaraes leaves the league almost two years after taking over, who is said to have established himself as one of the more versatile midfielders.
His presence coincided with Newcastle’s development, which led to links with top clubs, including, of course, Liverpool. A new contract was recently signed to avoid such attention, but has sparked speculation that it contains significant concession provisions.
Asked about it, the Magpies’ sporting director was dismissive. Guimaraes initially underperformed for Newcastle United earlier this season in the Premier League, but has since performed commendably in Eddie Howe’s midfield. The 25-year-old Brazilian has made 15 appearances, scoring once and twice in various competitions. The Brazilian midfielder also shows intelligence in runs off the ball in midfield.
He mainly plays as a midfielder, but can easily switch roles from box to box when needed. Eddie Howe believes Guimarez is a vital part of Newcastle’s starting XI and the 25-year-old’s best years are ahead of him.It is therefore highly unlikely that the Magpies will receive an offer for him to leave next summer, especially after his contract extension.
This presents a challenge for Jurgen Klopp as he devises a strategy to bring him to Anfield. However, the dynamic at the Merseyside club could change if the release clause comes into effect.
