Bruno Guimarães has been one of the standout players for Newcastle United since he made a switch to St James’ Park from Lyon in January.
The midfielder’s impressive displays for the Magpies led to claims that Real Madrid are looking to sign him.
Earlier this month, the Newcastle star said there was a “conversation” with the La Liga side, but there is “nothing” about a potential move to Madrid.
Dan Ashworth, the Premier League club’s sporting director, has ruled out the 24-year-old’s sale. At the same time, the chief made an admission the Tyneside club must sell some of their players in order to raise funds to rebuild their squad.
The Brazil international’s deal runs down in 2026 and UOL explain Eddie Howe’s side are looking to hand him a new contract.
Their title states Newcastle ‘want to renew’ Guimarães’ deal. Within the report, it’s said he is considered as a ‘top player’ and fundamental to the club. Therefore, they are planning to offer an extension to the South American and also ‘increase the salary’.
UOL don’t specify the details of the new contract that Newcastle plan to offer Guimarães but do state that behind the scenes at the Tyneside club, ‘there are good expectations for an agreement’.
