On Friday, Globo Esporte reported Bruno Guimarães has an agreement with Newcastle United to leave for Barcelona or Real Madrid for less than his £100m release clause.
It was also stated Barca are keen on signing him and are trying to include some of their players to make the overall package worth €80m.
AS mention the Catalan club in a report that states the midfielder ‘will leave’ Newcastle,
Newcastle CEO Darren Eales has already admitted his side may have to sell their stars to balance their books.
The Spanish newspaper states the Magpies have decided to sell 26-year-old to help them improve their finances. They add he has a €115m release clause, which can be paid in three instalments of €38m.
When discussing interested parties, Xavi Hernández’s side and Paris Saint-Germain are mentioned. The Ligue 1 winners are keen on signing him while the Camp Nou side are also in the picture.
It’s explained that Barca are the favourite option for the Brazil international and contacts between the two parties have been ongoing since the start of this season.
AS add the Blaugrana aren’t giving up on the Newcastle player and don’t rule out making an offer next summer. This, however, would depend on their finances.
