Newcastle United’s Brazil midfielder Bruno Guimaraes has caught the attention of several top Premier League clubs ahead of the summer transfer window. According to reports from the Telegraph, Arsenal and Manchester City are both considering making a move for the 26-year-old.
Guimaraes, who joined Newcastle from Lyon in January, has reportedly attracted interest from European giants Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain as well. The midfielder is said to have a hefty £100 million release clause in his contract at St James’ Park, making him a prized asset for the Magpies.
Meanwhile, Liverpool’s managerial search could come with a price tag, as Feyenoord demands £8.59 million in compensation for their 45-year-old Dutchman Arne Slot. The Reds are eyeing Slot as a potential replacement for Jurgen Klopp, who is set to leave Anfield at the end of the season.
In other transfer news, Manchester City’s Portugal midfielder Bernardo Silva is rumored to be eyeing a move to Barcelona. The 30-year-old reportedly has a release clause of £50 million, potentially making him an affordable target for the Catalan giants.
Chelsea, on the other hand, is looking to bolster their defense with RB Leipzig’s Castello Lukeba. The 21-year-old French center-back has a release clause close to £60 million, and the Blues are keen on securing his services ahead of next season.
Meanwhile, Manchester United’s negotiations with Newcastle United over sporting director Dan Ashworth are at a standstill, with the clubs at least £13 million apart in their compensation talks. Ashworth has been placed on gardening leave by Newcastle as the Red Devils continue their pursuit.
Elsewhere, Chelsea defender Thiago Silva has reportedly reached a verbal agreement with Fluminense, with the 39-year-old Brazilian set to leave Stamford Bridge at the end of the season. And former Arsenal and Manchester United striker Robin van Persie is on the verge of taking up his first managerial role with Dutch club Heerenveen.
These transfer rumors are expected to intensify as the summer window approaches, with clubs across Europe looking to strengthen their squads for the upcoming campaign.
