Bruno Guimaraes drops hint on Newcastle future as Arsenal consider triggering clause
Bruno Guimaraes has been heavily linked with a move away from Newcastle this summer, with Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool all credited with an interest in the Brazilian
Bruno Guimaraes insists he is happy at Newcastle, but accepts the club’s financial situation could put a spanner in the works.
On Thursday, it was reported that the Magpies are one six Premier League clubs who could be forced into sales in order to comply with the top-flight’s Profitability and Sustainability rules. Guimaraes is arguably the club’s most saleable asset after another impressive which saw him rack up 17 goal contributions in all competitions.
The likes of Arsenal and Manchester City have both been linked with the Brazilian, along with a host of European heavyweights including Paris Saint-Germain. The 26-year-old is understood to have a release clause in the region of £100million inserted into his current deal, although that is only active until the end of June.
And speaking to Brazilian media, the midfielder made it clear he is content with his current club, but couldn’t guarantee he would be there in the long run. “Look, my future, to be honest, is in God’s hands.
“I have a contract with Newcastle, I’m very happy, as I said, I know how much they like me, I know everything I’ve been doing for the club. In short, I have a contract, I’m happy.
“I don’t know what can happen, we know everything about Financial Fair Play, but what I can say is that I feel happy. It’s obviously very nice to be associated with big clubs; it indicates that I’m performing well, but I’m not concerned about it, as I said, I’m happy at the club.
“I’m very happy, so let’s see what happens. I’m not in any hurry, I’m happy, and it’s up to God, let’s see what happens.”
Earlier this year, Newcastle chief executive Darren Eales admitted that big sales couldn’t be ruled out, if they are to increase their availability to enhance Eddie Howe’s squad in turn.
