Reports from AS indicate that Manchester City is emerging as the leading contender to secure the signature of Bruno Guimaraes, outpacing interest from Paris Saint-Germain. The Premier League giants have set their sights on the Newcastle United midfielder to bolster their midfield ranks, with intentions to pair him alongside Rodri, forming a formidable midfield duo.
Manchester City’s pursuit of Guimaraes underscores their commitment to strengthening their squad, particularly in midfield, to maintain their competitive edge domestically and in European competitions. The club is reportedly prepared to meet Guimaraes’ hefty release clause of $127.5 million (£100 million) in the upcoming summer transfer window.
If the deal materializes, Guimaraes would join a star-studded Manchester City squad renowned for its possession-based style of play and tactical prowess under the guidance of manager Pep Guardiola. The acquisition of Guimaraes would not only enhance City’s midfield depth but also inject fresh dynamism and creativity into their gameplay.
