Real Madrid want Bruno Guimaraes but Newcastle United are ready to demand more than £100million for the midfielder in 2023.
The Brazilian midfielder has been simply outstanding this season and has come in for huge praise.
A two-goal display against Brentford last weekend showed how Bruno Guimaraes can be a threat going forward whilst he showed his more battling qualities against Manchester United on Sunday.
It looks like the 24-year-old is ready to become one of the top midfielders around – and that understandably leads to interest from elsewhere.
Real Madrid want Bruno Guimaraes
Real Madrid have been loosely linked with Bruno Guimaraes since the summer window.
Casemiro’s move to Manchester United meant Real were linked with a new midfield addition and Bruno Guimaraes was one option.
Yet with Aurelien Tchouameni joining Luka Modric, Toni Kroos and Eduardo Camavinga in the engine room, it wasn’t a pressing need.
Modric and Kroos are closer to kicking their last ball than their first though, and Bruno Guimaraes could be on their wish list.
The Newcastle star was quoted by AS last week as saying that there was a ‘conversation’ with Real over the summer but no deal was done.
Bruno Guimaraes did though hail Real as the ‘best team in the world’ and it’s hard to imagine that any player wouldn’t be in some way tempted by joining them.
The Chronicle now claim that Newcastle would demand an ‘astronomical’ fee from Real Madrid – or anybody else – if they want Bruno Guimaraes.
It’s suggested that Newcastle would want north of the £103million Real spent to sign Eden Hazard from Chelsea in 2019.
Newcastle paid £40million for Bruno Guimaraes in January but are now seeking more than double that fee if they are to sell him.
That just doesn’t look likely any time soon and Newcastle fans can likely rest easy whilst showing their love for their Brazilian star.
