Bruno Guimaraes Transfer Talk Sees Alan Shearer Fire Ultimatum to Newcastle

Newcastle sources deny advanced talks despite Manchester United’s reported £69-80m interest, with the club aiming to retain or extend Bruno Guimaraes’ contract.

  • On Thursday, Reuters and a Brazilian journalist said Bruno Guimaraes was in advanced negotiations for a 69m move to Manchester United.
  • Newcastle are planning a summer rebuild, seeking at least four starters—a goalkeeper, striker, right-back and midfielder—while PSR-era financial constraints raise the stakes for any sale.
  • Chronicle Live reports the club has held contract talks, and multiple Newcastle sources told The i Paper it was news to them that their skipper was close to leaving.
  • The timing coincided with a difficult run for the team, as Newcastle have won just two of their 16 Premier League matches without Guimaraes since his £40 million move in 2022, and he was in Barcelona during the week to watch the 7-2 Champions League defeat.
  • With Casemiro due to depart, Manchester United's midfield plans matter as Sandro Tonali is wanted by Manchester City, Manchester United, and Arsenal, while Casemiro reportedly recommended Guimaraes.
