Manchester United entered advanced negotiations to sign Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle United for approximately €80 million, according to a report from Reuters.
“Manchester United are in advanced talks to sign Newcastle United captain Bruno Guimaraes for around 80 million euros, but renewed interest from Real Madrid threatens to complicate the proposed move, sources close to the negotiations have told Reuters,” the news agency reported.
Newcastle’s elimination from the Champions League at the hands of Barcelona created conditions for the Brazilian midfielder’s potential departure. The 28-year-old has served as a pivotal figure for the club since his arrival from Lyon in 2022.
Carlos Henrique Casemiro, who announced he will leave Old Trafford when his contract expires this summer, personally recommended Guimaraes as his ideal successor.
“Casemiro has personally recommended Guimaraes as his ideal successor, citing his experience and leadership, according to the same sources,” Reuters noted.
Guimaraes currently recovers from a hamstring injury. Newcastle won just two of 16 Premier League matches without him in the side since his arrival four years ago. His contract with the club runs until 2028.
