After Casemiro said in January that he will leave Old Trafford after four seasons, even though he has the option to remain an additional year, Bruno Guimaraes, a seasoned midfielder, might join Manchester United from Newcastle United this summer. As a result, the club will have a difficult few months ahead of them as they look for a suitable applicant to cover the large void left by the former Real Madrid star.
Guimaraes seems to be their new top target when the market reopens, from Carlos Baleba of Brighton & Hove Albion and Elliot Anderson of Nottingham Forest to Adam Wharton of Crystal Palace. Man United is reportedly in “advanced talks” to finalize a £69 million deal for the 28-year-old, according to Reuters.
They say that early talks between Guimaraes’ agents and the club show that both parties are eager to reach an agreement. But is Guimaraes the right person to take over where Casemiro will end up with United?
Man Utd in ‘advanced talks’ to sign Bruno Guimarães
According to reports, Manchester United and Newcastle United are in “advanced talks” to recruit Bruno Guimarães. Reuters, a trustworthy agency that isn’t often known for its transfer rumors, is the source of the information.
Journalist Fernando Kallas claims that the Manchester team is negotiating a deal for the Newcastle captain at €80 million, or a little more than £69 million.
The Manchester United midfielder has allegedly suggested Guimarães as Casemiro’s replacement. Real Madrid, who are expected to rekindle their interest in the 28-year-old, might pose a threat to the Red Devils.
Midway through the 2021–2022 season, Bruno Guimarães joined Newcastle from Lyon. Since then, he has made 189 appearances for the Magpies, providing 30 assists and 31 goals.
