Man City 'make initial contact with Newcastle's Guimaraes'

Since his arrival from Lyon in January 2022, the 26-year-old has established himself as a fan favourite at St James’ Park.

Guimaraes has made 96 competitive games with the Magpies, scoring 13 goals and providing 13 assists.

Despite being seen as an important player in Eddie Howe’s squad, Guimaraes’ future has recently become the subject of transfer rumours as a result of Newcastle’s financial condition.

To comply with the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability regulations, the Magpies may need to collect revenue through player sales before reinvesting in the squad.

Although Guimares has claimed that he is content at the club, he is thought to be garnering interest from the European Champions, Manchester City.

According to AS, the Citizens have already made first contact with the player’s representatives in anticipation of a possible summer transfer.

According to the source, Manchester City are looking to sign a new holding midfielder, and Guimaraes is one of their top targets.

While his contract with Newcastle runs until June 2028, the Brazilian’s deal is thought to include a £100 million release clause.

Amid the conjecture, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola praised Guimaraes’ abilities ahead of Saturday’s FA Cup quarterfinal against Newcastle.

Man City will face competition for Guimaraes, with PSG renewing their pursuit after showing interest in the January window. Barcelona are said to be admirers of the midfielder, but their financial situation may hinder their chances of agreeing a deal. Man City’s Premier League rivals Liverpool and Chelsea may also launch a summer move after previously being linked with the Newcastle man.
