Newcastle concern about Manchester City swooping in for Bruno Guimaraes
As per Sunday Express, the Magpies may be concerned by the news of Kevin de Bruyne reportedly agreeing personal terms with the Saudi club, as they will now fear that the Premier League champions will look to them for a replacement.
Brazilian midfielder Bruno Guimaraes could be tempted to a move to Pep Guardiola’s side and despite Newcastle’s insistence that the player is not for sale, a significant bid could test them.
Guimaraes’ incredible numbers
Bruno has been fantastic since joining the club, making 107 appearances, scoring 17 and assisting 16 goals.
He has also proven to be a versatile midfielder with his ability to play as a defensive midfielder as well as a central box-to-box midfielder.
