Manchester United is planning to strengthen its midfield this summer, with Bruno Guimaraes being a key target as the club prepares for a major change in that area.
With Casemiro set to leave at the end of the season, the club is focused on finding a long-term replacement to solidify the midfield.
Reports indicate that United is in advanced talks to sign the Newcastle United midfielder.
The Brazilian player has been a target for United, with Casemiro recommending Guimaraes as a fitting successor.
Guimaraes, who is also the captain of Newcastle United, has become a prominent choice due to his leadership and strong performances in the Premier League.
However, Newcastle’s position could affect any potential transfer.
According to talkSPORT, Newcastle has made a firm decision regarding Guimaraes’ future amid rising transfer speculation.
The 28-year-old is contracted until 2028 and is seen as a key player in the club’s future plans.
As the reports linking him to Manchester United have increased, Newcastle’s unwavering stance has become more evident.
The club is not looking to sell Guimaraes and is interested in extending his current contract.
Newcastle considers him vital both on and off the field, especially given his leadership in recent seasons.
Despite claims of ongoing negotiations, those reports are thought to be premature at this time.
Guimaraes is currently recovering from an injury that has kept him out of action, but he remains an essential part of Newcastle’s plans.
As Manchester United reviews its options and Newcastle holds firm, this situation will be closely monitored as the summer transfer window approaches.
