Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes is known for his passion, energy and die-hard nature on the pitch. The Brazilian made the move from Olympique Lyonnais back in 2022 for a £40 million fee. The Premier League recently held an interview with the Brazilian, in which he was quizzed about the former players he wishes he could’ve played with in the Premier League.

Two years since his arrival, he is now a central part of Eddie Howe‘s midfield and operates defensively in the heart of the pitch. Bruno listed Premier League legends like Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard and Wayne Rooney. However, he proved that he is true to the Toon Army, and said:

…as a Newcastle player, I have to choose Alan Shearer.

Transfer Talk: Bruno Guimaraes linked with Barcelona and PSG

As the January transfer window is well underway, Bruno Guimaraes has caught the attention of several top clubs in Europe. FC Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain are two of the top clubs looking to bring the Brazilian home. As per reports, Xavi and Barcà are big fans of the midfielder. However, financial constraints and FFP regulations may force Barcelona to include a player in the deal.

As per reports, the club may include former Leeds United winger Raphinha and cash in their pursuit of the midfielder. As for the Ligue 1 giants, a move was heavily rumored at the start of the window. However, the club have found alternatives for the Brazilian as of late. Manchester City ‘flop’ Kalvin Phillips offers a ‘cheaper’ alternative to the Newcastle #39.

Even though Guimaraes recently signed an extension with Newcastle, his release clause has been set. A club would be required to produce at least £100 million if they were to lure him away from the Magpies. He is 26 years old and has signed a new deal which will keep him at the club till 2028. Bruno can operate both as a #6 and a #8. While he is a gritty player, he also has the skills and dribbling to show for either role in midfield.
