Liverpool tried to sign Newcastle United’s Bruno Guimarães towards the end of the last window. This was reported by AS earlier this month, who also stated the Reds would have offered £100m but were met with a ‘resounding no’ from the Tyneside club.
The midfielder’s deal runs until 2026 and claims from elsewhere have stated he’s now close to signing an extension until 2028.
Fichajes.net relay that and then provide more updates on Liverpool’s plans for the Newcastle star.
It’s claimed the Merseyside club ‘continue to maintain’ their interest in the 25-year-old even though he’s expected to sign a new contract with the Magpies.
That’s because Jürgen Klopp and his side ‘highly value’ the Brazil international’s qualities and believe he could be a ‘valuable addition’ to the squad.
Fichajes.net say Liverpool’s interest ‘remains latent’ and they’ll continue to closely monitor Guimarães. The Reds ‘haven’t forgotten’ about the player after the summer failure but a potential deal in the future would not be made easy by Newcastle.
The former Lyon man has been a regular for Eddie Howe’s side since he arrived at the club in January 2022, and has managed a goal and an assist from seven games this season.
