Newcastle will consider selling Bruno Guimaraes to fund their summer transfer spree with both Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain keen on their star midfielder.
A report in Football Insider says the Brazilian, 26, has a release clause of £100million which, if triggered, would allow Eddie Howe to boost other areas of the squad.
The Magpies are under pressure to sell a major star to comply with profit and sustainability rules after years of heavy spending under their Saudi-led ownership.
And Guimaraes could be the player who is sacrificed despite being one of the Toon’s best performers since arriving from Lyon in 2022.
His influential performances on Tyneside have attracted some of Europe’s top clubs, with Real and PSG named as two prime suitors.
According to HITC, scouts from the heavyweight duo watched Guimaraes in action during a 2-0 FA Cup defeat to Manchester City on Saturday.
The maestro may fancy a switch after reportedly growing increasingly frustrated with Newcastle’s poor season, which sees them sitting in 10th place and 16 points off fourth.
