Manchester City is monitoring the situation of Newcastle United and Brazil midfielder Bruno Guimaraes as they finalize positional shortlists for the upcoming summer transfer window. With uncertainties surrounding Bernardo Silva’s future and Kevin De Bruyne aging, City is planning to ensure their midfield remains strong.

City’s interest in Guimaraes is said to be part of a number of midfielders they have been watching this season. However, any moves will depend on outgoings from the squad. Arsenal is also reported to be interested in Guimaraes, who has a release clause of £100 million. City’s previous summer transfer window saw Ilkay Gundogan leave for Barcelona, with Mateo Kovacic coming in as a replacement.

Kovacic, who has been crucial for City, expressed his satisfaction with the team’s playing style and his responsibility within the squad. The midfield remains a priority for City, and with potential departures, they are looking at options like Guimaraes to strengthen their ranks. Keeping an eye on the situation and waiting for developments in the coming months will be a key focus for City heading into the summer transfer window.
