Joelinton is from Aliança, a municipality in Pernambuco, and Bruno Guimarães is from the capital of Rio de Janeiro. On the banner, the English wrote that the duo from these two Brazilian cities have, in Newcastle, a “home away from home”.
The five stars of the Brazilian national team’s Pentacampeonato Mundial were also placed on the banner.
Bruno Guimarães reaches 100 games for Newcastle
Recently, in a match valid for the English Championship, Bruno Guimarães reached the impressive mark of 100 matches for Newcastle. Faced with speculation about a possible departure, the midfielder stated that he is 100% focused on continuing to perform at a high level for the black and white team.
“I have no future thoughts. The present holds 100% of my attention. I am very focused on this, on maintaining this dream of the club’s qualification for a European competition. I am happy and I am happy here. And that’s what I’ve been 100% dedicated to since I signed for the club.”
The player would have caught the interest of Arsenal and Manchester City, according to the British press. Both are rivals of Newcastle in the Premier League. Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), Mbappé’s team, would also be monitoring the situation of the Brazilian midfielder.
