Newcastle United are well-prepared to protect Bruno Guimarães from any advances from other clubs in the final weeks of the transfer window, Sport Witness has learned.
The Magpies are understood to have spent a total of €52m to sign the Brazilian from Lyon in the January window, and only doubling that could make them think of letting him go from St. James’ Park so early.
On Thursday, the Spanish media revealed that Real Madrid currently see Guimarâes as a potential replacement for Casemiro.
With Manchester United pursuing the midfielder, the Galacticos have reportedly put the Newcastle United ace as the number one alternative to take his place at the Santiago Bernabéu.
For now, despite claims from Brazil saying there’s been contact with Bruno’s entourage, Sport Witness knows that the La Liga giants haven’t been in touch with Premier League side about the move, as they must confirm Casemiro’s fate first.
Newcastle reckon it “will not be easy” to take away their gem, even though the club refuse to label his departure as impossible.
