Eddie Howe has addressed the speculation surrounding Bruno Guimaraes’ future at Newcastle United, revealing that the midfielder has a £100m release clause in his contract that is set to expire at the end of June. Howe stressed the importance of having a clear endpoint to avoid constant speculation and expressed his desire to keep Guimaraes at the club, building the team around him. Guimaraes has been in good form and seems happy and settled at Newcastle, making him a key player for the team.

Since joining Newcastle from Lyon in January 2022 for £40m, Guimaraes has become an integral part of the squad, making 102 appearances and contributing to goals and assists. With the release clause expiring shortly after the summer transfer window opens, Manchester City will have limited time to decide if they want to trigger it to sign the Brazilian midfielder. If City believe Guimaraes is worth the fee and a suitable addition to their squad, they will have a clear understanding of what is needed to make a deal happen.

The interest from top clubs like Manchester City and Arsenal reflects Guimaraes’ quality and impact at Newcastle, making him a sought-after player in the upcoming transfer window. Howe’s comments indicate that he is keen on retaining Guimaraes and further developing the team with him as a key figure. As the situation unfolds, it will be interesting to see if City or any other clubs decide to meet the release clause to secure Guimaraes’ services.
