The Brazilian midfielder has a release clause in his contract that can be activated in the next few days
Manchester City continue to be linked with a move for Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes, who has a release clause of £100million in his contract. But what is the real story behind the Brazilian's future?
Newcastle inserted a release clause of £100m in the midfielder's contract, but that is believed to expire on Monday, June 24 this year. With talk that City are weighing up whether to activate it, we asked the Newcastle Chronicle's Newcastle United editor Aaron Stokes for the inside track on the transfer talk, Guimares' short and long-term future and how he would potentially fit in with Pep Guardiola's side.
Would they consider or welcome a sale post-release clause for PSR? AS: Like many of their Premier League rivals, Newcastle have a close eye on their PSR obligations and will subsequently listen to offers for senior stars in the coming weeks. £100m-plus for Bruno would ultimately end Newcastle's FFP concerns and radically transform their ability to overhaul the squad with top class additions this summer.
What's the player's view? AS: Bruno, like Howe, has also been clear when asked about his future. The 26-year-old knows he will not find the adoration he currently receives at any other club given he is the main man on Tyneside. Should he stay beyond the summer, that bond with supporters will only grow.
How does he impact a team, what's his best position and attributes? AS: Most of what comes through Newcastle's midfield comes through Bruno. Joelinton is the enforcer, Joe Willock is a box-to-box menace and it remains to be seen what Sandro Tonali will be under Howe. Guimaraes has a little bit of everything.
