Bruno Guimarães has impressed for Newcastle United since he arrived at St James’ Park in January 2022.
The midfielder’s fine form has seen him linked to a few top clubs, including Barcelona.
A ‘confidential’ report from Wednesday’s Sport makes it clear the Newcastle star is ‘unreachable’ for the La Liga side.
Although reports in the English press talked about a €100m bid from the Blaugrana, the newspaper states the 25-year-old’s name was never on the table at the Camp Nou.
In fact, he’s considered as an ‘impossible dream’ for Barca because of his asking price and their own financial situation. They have wasted no time in distancing themselves from the Newcastle star.
The Brazil international’s contract lasts until 2026. He’s ‘now negotiating’ a new deal with the Magpies.
The two parties are ‘very far’ apart and Sport suggest the rumours of interest from other top clubs could be related to his renewal negotiations with Eddie Howe’s side.
Guimarães, who has also been linked to Real Madrid, is the ‘cornerstone’ of Newcastle’s project. They are now preparing a new revolution after qualifying for the Champions League.
The South American managed five goals and five assists from 40 games last season.
