According to reports, Barcelona will try to recoup some of the £100 million price tag for Bruno Guimaraes, the star player at Newcastle United, by selling Robert Lewandowski.
Barcelona is reportedly interested in Bruno Guimaraes, according to a report by Football Transfers. The Brazilian international’s Newcastle United contract contains a £100 million release clause. However, the defending La Liga winners are prepared to let go of Robert Lewandowski in order to make room for the Magpies’ lucky charm.
Bruno Guimaraes and the Path of Transformation Since coming to Newcastle United from Lyon in January 2022, the team’s talisman, Bruno Guimaraes, has advanced significantly. Before the PIF replaced Mike Ashley, the Tyneside club was fighting for relegation, but the 26-year-old has completely changed the team.
The Brazilian international has made 80 appearances for Newcastle United so far, contributing eight assists and 11 goals. Bruno Guimaraes, meanwhile, recently agreed to a new contract with Newcastle United that includes a £100 million release clause. That has opened him up to potential suitors.
The former Lyon midfielder was a target for a number of prestigious teams, including Chelsea and Liverpool, during the summer transfer window. However, Guimaraes refused to leave Newcastle United, and no offers were accepted. Barcelona is one of the teams that could make a move for the Magpies’ lucky charm, though interest in it is still strong.
Is Barcelona Calling?
Strange rumors that Bruno Guimaraes had a release clause exclusive to Barcelona surfaced in reports following his signing of a new deal with Newcastle United. However, given that his contract includes a standard exit clause valued at £100 million, those suggestions are off base. For Barcelona, whose financial problems have not gotten any better over the past few years, that amount is prohibitive.
The defending La Liga champions, however, have a secret weapon in their toolbox: they’re prepared to take a cut on Robert Lewandowski in order to finance a move for Bruno Guimaraes. Next year, the Blaugrana will welcome Vitor Roque to Catalonia; the Brazilian is the team’s long-term central striker.
Therefore, given Lewandowski’s difficulties this year, selling him might make sense. Furthermore, it is a project worth taking on for Barcelona if it helps finance a £100 million deal for the Newcastle United talisman. With his versatility, the 26-year-old can be a game-changing addition to the midfield group.
