The situation
Manchester United’s poor start to the season has set off alarms at Old Trafford. Emissaries from the club have traveled to Madrid to sound out the incorporation of several Atletico de Madrid players and Casemiro. Given the siren songs from the Premier, Real Madrid has begun to do the same and is already looking for a possible replacement for the white legend and the first on the list is Bruno Guimaraes . The Brazilian is one of the stars of the English league and, in addition, has dual Spanish nationality from his grandfather. United’s dizzying offer for Casemiro is a reality and the player does not seem to have all the clear options. The five-year contract, which would double the Brazilian’s salary, could be the player’s last major signing in his career and he knows it. United have marked Saturday in red as the key day to unblock the operation and an offer is expected shortly. The name of Bruno Guimarães leads the list of possible substitutes for the still white pivot. His age, just 24 years old, together with his talent make him an interesting prospect for the future. However, the operation would not be easy since Bruno is a fixture in Eddie Howe’s schemes in the ‘magpies’ and the fans adore him. sources close to Newcastle affirm that the club would ask for a figure well above double what was paid to Olympyque Lyon for their star to pack his bags and head for the League . The project, led by Mehrdad Ghodoussi, paid ‘les lions’ an amount close to 52 million euros to acquire the services of the former Atletico Paranaense player, so the operation could be even higher.
The details
Since Guimarães landed seven months ago on the green of St James’ Park as the icing on the cake of the Premier League’s new multi-million dollar project, the native of Rio de Janeiro has managed to arouse the admiration of the islands. Since he made his debut in the English league, Bruno has emerged as the player with the most duels won, the most tackles made and the most fouls won. Bruno is a fixture in Tite’s calls with Brazil, where he has gradually entered the lineups and is running as one of the fixtures in the starting eleven of the ‘canarinha’ in the World Cup in Qatar . In addition, he was one of the most outstanding players in the Olympic champion Brazil in Tokyo 2020, where he demonstrated his quality in the final against Spain.
