Manchester City’s pursuit of new midfield recruits, including the interest in Bruno Guimaraes, is causing concern for Newcastle United officials. The Premier League champions recently signed Savinho for an initial £21 million, potentially rising to £33.6 million. With a need for a back-up in defensive midfield, Manchester City’s recruitment efforts are intensifying.
Newcastle United is fearful of Manchester City swooping in for Bruno Guimaraes, despite the club not triggering his £100 million release clause. There is confidence from City that Guimaraes would be open to a move, with the 26-year-old considering a fresh challenge. While Joshua Kimmich is noted as another target, his situation at Bayern Munich may complicate a potential transfer.
In addition to midfield reinforcements, Manchester City could also be in the market for a new left-sided full-back following Sergio Gomez’s departure. Despite ongoing recruitment efforts, no immediate arrivals are expected to displace the current first-choice options. City’s pursuit of Guimaraes and other potential targets indicates a busy summer ahead for the Premier League champions.
