Newcastle United midfielder Bruno GuimarĂŁes is attracting significant interest as the summer transfer window nears, with three of the Premier Leagueâs top clubs monitoring his situation.
Manchester City are currently seen as frontrunners to land the Brazilian, although Arsenal and Liverpool are also actively pursuing the 26-year-old. GuimarĂŁes has had an outstanding season for Newcastle, which has sparked speculation over a potential move. His emotional reaction following the Magpiesâ final home fixture has only intensified rumours that he may be on his way out.
According to AS, City have taken an early initiative by holding discussions with GuimarĂŁesâ representatives. However, no official offer has been made, and both Arsenal and Liverpool are closely observing the situation.
Guimarães was a key figure under Eddie Howe throughout the season, making 50 appearances, scoring seven goals, and providing ten assists. For Liverpool, he could serve as a natural successor to Thiago Alcântara, whose contract expires this summer.
In related transfer news, journalist Fabrizio Romano has revealed that he is â100 per cent certainâ where Lloyd Kelly â a player previously linked with Liverpool â will be heading. The 25-year-old defender struggled with injuries last season but has drawn attention from several top-flight clubs after confirming his departure as a free agent.
Despite Liverpool being among the interested sides, Romano reports that Kelly is set to join Newcastle. The move would reunite him with Eddie Howe, under whom he previously played at Bournemouth â making the transfer a logical step for both player and club
