Guimaraes: Newcastle’s Engine or Soon-to-Be-Departed Star?
The Brazilian has become a talisman for Newcastle since joining in 2022. He’s a key player in their European ambitions, and they desperately want to keep him. However, his £100 million release clause looms large, creating a transfer window frenzy.
Release Clause Deadline Looms: Today’s the Day!
Today, June 24th, marks a crucial turning point. If no club triggers the release clause by the end of the day, Newcastle can rip it up and demand whatever fee they deem fit for Guimaraes. The pressure is on!
City the Frontrunners, But Will They Pay the Price?
Manchester City are the bookies’ favorites to land Guimaraes, with Pep Guardiola seemingly keen to add him to his already stacked midfield. But are they willing to splash £100 million, especially with Rodri, De Bruyne, and others already in the mix?
Who Else is in the Running?
Arsenal lurk as potential suitors, while European giants like Real Madrid and Barcelona seem less likely. Manchester United are also listed as an outsider, but a move seems improbable.

Will City Make Their Move?
The next few hours will be crucial. Will City trigger the release clause and secure Guimaraes, or will Newcastle hold firm and keep their star player? This transfer saga is far from over, and deadline day drama is guaranteed.
