Liverpool now have a golden chance to get Bruno Guimaraes on board amid Newcastle FFP trouble
Liverpool FC’s pursuit of Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes may be gaining traction, thanks to recent financial developments at St James’ Park. The Brazilian midfielder, who has captured the admiration of the Reds, could become a viable transfer target following Newcastle’s losses in their latest financial results.
Earlier discussions about a potential deal for Guimaraes seemed uncertain, but the recent financial setbacks for Newcastle could force them to reconsider their stance. The significant losses may necessitate the Magpies to offload key assets in adherence to Financial Fair Play regulations, presenting Liverpool with a potential opening.
According to a report from AS via ECHO, Guimaraes, formerly of Lyon, has an “agreed” release clause in his contract set at £98m. This release clause is payable in three instalments of £32m. The article indicates that Guimaraes is among the three players (the two others are Alexander Isak and Sven Botman) the Newcastle board is considering selling to address their financial concerns. Importantly, there is no restriction on Premier League teams activating his exit valuation.
Bruno G to the Reds?
The Reds are not the only club eyeing the 26-year-old midfielder, as Paris Saint-Germain also see themselves listed as contenders for his signature. The report suggests that PSG is expected to renew their pursuit of Guimaraes in the upcoming summer transfer window. Additionally, Barcelona and Chelsea also are clubs among the mentioned ones as potential destinations for the talented Brazilian.
The 26-year-old midfielder possesses qualities that align well with Liverpool’s high-tempo, pressing style of football. He is technically sound and has decent levels of defensive work rates. Best be assured that the manager will squeeze the last bit of energy he has in case he moves to the Reds.
His ability to control the tempo, put in a shift from a defensive point of view, and contribute offensively could surely enhance Liverpool’s midfield options. Jurgen Klopp, who values versatility and work rate in his players, could see Guimaraes as an asset capable of thriving in Liverpool’s demanding system.
