On Monday, Brazil’s iG Esporte reported Bruno Guimarães is close to renewing his contract at Newcastle United.
The midfielder’s current deal runs down in 2026 and the Magpies’ efforts to tie him down to a new contract are also mentioned by Fichajes.net when explaining Paris Saint-Germain’s desire to sign him.
It’s claimed the Ligue 1 winners, who are keeping close tabs on the Newcastle star, are ‘showing specific interest’ in securing his services.
The 25-year-old had previously caught PSG’s attention when he was at Lyon and is now back on their radar.
Luis Enrique is looking to bring in a creative player to strengthen his side’s midfield and it’s said PSG’s focus is currently on the Brazil international, who has been identified as their ‘high-level target’.
Fichajes.net have made it clear this is their own information and also add that it ‘will not be easy’ to take the player away from Eddie Howe’s side because they are working to secure his long-term future.
Apart from the Paris club, Real Madrid and a few other clubs are also showing interest in Guimarães, and the outlet adds that Newcastle want to fend off interest from these clubs by extending his contract.
