Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes has made it clear that he is happy at the club and has shut down rumors of a move to Manchester City this summer. Despite City’s interest and Guimaraes being a target for manager Pep Guardiola, the cost of signing him is considered to be too high. City had the opportunity to buy Guimaraes back earlier in the summer but did not meet the release clause fee of £100m.
With the transfer window closing soon, there are questions about whether City will make any new signings. The injury to Oscar Bobb led to speculation that City would look to strengthen their squad, with players like Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace being mentioned as potential targets. However, like with Guimaraes, City allowed Eze’s release clause to expire, meaning they did not make a move for him before the deadline.
It remains to be seen if City will target any new players before the transfer window closes on August 30th. The club has missed out on opportunities to sign key players like Guimaraes and Eze due to not meeting release clause fees, leading to questions about their transfer strategy and whether they will make any moves in the remaining time.
