Liverpool must fork out around £87million to land rival PL midfielder

Newcastle reveal a steep price tag for Liverpool target Bruno Guimaraes

Following a successful season at Newcastle United wherein he stood extremely crucial in Eddie Howe’s side getting a top-four finish, Bruno Guimaraes now sees himself on the transfer radar of Liverpool in recent weeks.

According to GOAL via The Mirror, Liverpool’s entourage have opened discussions with Bruno Guimaraes and his representatives. With Barcelona also showing interest in the player, Newcastle can best remain assured to get the best deal in case they decide to sell the player.

And to that, with three more years remaining on his deal with the Magpies (Transfermarkt

), Guimaraes’ situation puts Newcastle in the driving seat for any negotiations. Of course, they would not want to sell such an important player ahead of the new season, with the UEFA Champions League also to compete for.

However, to put a price, he could join the Reds at £87m and thereabouts. For Newcastle, maintaining possession of Guimaraes is crucial due to his immense value to the team. As one of their most prized assets, his departure could have a considerable impact on the club’s performance and overall dynamics.

Guimaraes to the Reds?

Therefore, Newcastle will likely need to adopt a firm and determined stance in negotiations, demonstrating their intention to keep Guimaraes as an integral part of their squad.

Ultimately, the outcome will depend on various factors, including the determination of both Newcastle and Guimaraes himself, as well as the extent of interest shown by Liverpool.

The Reds though certainly need midfield reinforcements and they should leave no stone unturned in their pursuit of quality midfielders. Guimaraes or not, the Reds should actively stay in the market to reinforce their squad.

Speaking of his statistics though, he has five goals and as many assists in 40 appearances across all competitions this season and could prove to be a good fit in Liverpool’s squad.
