On July 23, according to football365, Manchester City are interested in Newcastle’s Bruno Guimarães, hoping he can become Kevin De Bruyne’s successor, and are willing to offer two young players in exchange.
There were previous reports that De Bruyne had reached personal terms with a Saudi Pro League club and could complete a transfer this summer, but transfer expert Fabrizio Romano later refuted this claim. However, De Bruyne’s contract with Manchester City expires in the summer of 2025, and the Sky Blues have started looking for his successor.
It is reported that Manchester City have set their sights on Newcastle’s midfield maestro Guimarães, hoping he can become De Bruyne’s replacement. Newcastle may be forced to sell Guimarães this summer due to concerns about meeting the Premier League’s Financial Fair Play regulations, but they are asking for a whopping £100 million.
Manchester City have proposed a compromise, hoping to include youngsters Oscar Bobb and James McAtee in the deal to offset some of the transfer fee. If Newcastle accepts these two young players, the transfer fee for Guimarães could drop to £65 million.
