Man City are keen to sign Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle. But, so far, City have been unable to meet their demands. The midfielder has been quite great in recent years. But Pep’s team remains keen to sign him. Man City had a mixed 23/24 season. They won the Premier League for the 4th time in a row. But they were also behind for most of the time. Liverpool were at the top midway through the season. Then, the Reds would falter. Arsenal would top the league. They would also dwindle, and City made the most of it. They won the league on the final match day.
Also, their UCL campaign was no good either. They were great against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu. They earnt a hard fought 3-3 draw. But, they lost in the 2nd leg on penalties at the Etihad. Also, Newcastle would knock them out in the EFL Cup. Man Utd would also pull off a major upset by beating City in the FA Cup final. Pep’s team will be eyeing more trophies this season. They will be keen to win games and defend their title. Signing Bruno Guimaraes will help further their aim.
A look at the journey of Bruno Guimaraes
Bruno Guimaraes began his youth career with Audax. He would join their first team in 2015. But, he would feature only 9 times for them. He was sent on loan to Athletico Paranaense in 2017. Later, he joined them on a permanent deal. He made a 106 appearances for them, scoring 10 times. Lyon signed him in 2019. He would feature in 71 outings for them for the next 3 years. As per en.wikipedia.org, Newcastle bought him in 2022 for a fee of £40 million.
Bruno Guimaraes has been pretty great at the St. James’ Park so far. He has become a key player for the Magpies. Also, he is now featuring more regularly for Brazil. As per now, he has 107 appearances for Newcastle. He has also managed to score 17 goals. While talking about his previous season, he made 50 appearances. As per transfermarkt.co.in, he had 17 G/A in the 23/24 season. Without a doubt, he has improved a lot. Also, he still has his best years ahead of him. He is merely 26 as of now. No wonder why Pep is keen to sign him.
Pep vs Arteta for the Brazilian
Newcastle have set a £100 million asking price for Bruno Guimaraes. But, Man City do not want to spend that much. They feel like he is worth closer to £80 million. As per fourfourtwo.com, they are working on a player swap deal to sign him. As a result, either Oscar Bobb or Rico Lewis could be sent on loan. Meanwhile, Newcastle want both of them too. So, City are ok with one of them leaving for a season long loan. They won’t make a permanent deal as they want them for the future. But, at the same time, they hope that Newcastle soften the deal for them. Many believe that he is worth the £100 million valuation.
Also, Arsenal are wanting a move for Bruno Guimaraes as well. As a result we may see a bidding war between them and City. Thomas Partey is close to leaving Arsenal. They want to sign the Brazilian as a replacement. The 26-year-old is already proven in the Premier League. He could be a great addition for them. He might also be the key to de-throne City. As of now, his future remains in doubt. He could well be joining either of the two teams.
