Barcelona and PSG are keeping an eye
The financial results of the last season may pressure Newcastle to sell players to avoid possible sanctions from the Premier League. Among the most coveted athletes is Bruno Guimarães, a key player for the team, whose performance has attracted interest from clubs like Barcelona and, especially, PSG.
Despite the speculation surrounding his stay, the Brazilian, who has a contract with the English club until 2028, prefers to focus on the present challenge. With the possibility of becoming the player with the most appearances for Newcastle, if he plays in the final seven rounds of the Premier League, Bruno is focusing his energy on helping the team overcome a season marked by adversities, including injuries and significant absences.
Versatile
Despite his defensive importance, Bruno has also contributed offensively, scoring four goals this season and providing seven assists, totaling 11 goal involvements, which represents his best performance in a year in his career, tied with the previous season.
With 47 points in the table, Newcastle currently sits in eighth place in the Premier League, two points behind sixth-placed Manchester United. This Saturday (13), the team faces Tottenham, currently in fourth place in the table.
