Manchester City are reportedly interested in signing Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle United and may use Rico Lewis or Oscar Bobb as ‘bait’ in a potential deal. Guimaraes, considered one of the best holding midfielders in the Premier League, has recently seen his £100 million release clause expire. City believe he is worth around £80 million, while Newcastle still value him at £100 million.
Despite the potential deal, it is unlikely that City would be willing to part ways with Lewis or Bobb permanently, as both players are seen as integral to the club’s long-term future. Lewis, who can also play in midfield, made 27 appearances last season, while Bobb, a promising winger, enjoyed an impressive breakthrough campaign. City may be open to loaning one of them to Newcastle, along with cash, in exchange for Guimaraes.
While the prospect of having Guimaraes in a City shirt is exciting, it remains to be seen if the club will go through with the reported deal. With the recent signing of Savinho and the promising future of players like Lewis and Bobb, City may prioritize developing their young talent while also seeking reinforcements in the transfer market.
