Manchester City set on securing Bruno Guimaraes transfer

Manchester City is determined to outdo Real Madrid and Chelsea in the race to sign Newcastle United stalwart Bruno Guimaraes.

Per a report by Fichajes, Manchester City is looking to strengthen their midfield for the upcoming season. Bruno Guimaraes of Newcastle United is their top target as they aim to revamp their core. Despite interest from Real Madrid and Chelsea, City is determined to lead the pack in securing his signature.

Guimaraes has been consistently impressive since joining Newcastle in 2022. He was among their initial marquee signings post-takeover and has solidified his place in the team with stellar performances.

Last season, the 26-year-old defensive midfielder played a crucial role in Newcastle’s success, helping them secure a spot in the Champions League. While this season hasn’t been as remarkable, Guimaraes continues to shine as one of their standout players.

Interest from European Powerhouses

His performances have caught the eye of Real Madrid, Chelsea, and Manchester City. Real Madrid, in particular, is in need of midfield reinforcements with the potential departure of Luka Modric, making Guimaraes an attractive prospect for them.

Chelsea, despite recent midfield signings, are considering Guimaraes as an addition to bolster their midfield options.

City’s Determination to Secure Guimaraes

City is resolute in their pursuit of Guimaraes. Manager Pep Guardiola is keen on adding him to the squad, even if it means breaking the €100 million mark. Guardiola sees Guimaraes as a vital addition to the team’s midfield setup.

While City already has Rodri in midfield, Guardiola believes Guimaraes can further enhance their squad’s quality and depth. However, Newcastle is unlikely to part ways with Guimaraes unless an exceptional offer is made.
