His contract runs until the summer of 2026, Newcastle don’t need to sell, especially with how settled the Brazilian international and his family are on Tyneside.
"We love to be a Geordie, you know!” Guimaraes said during a Sky Sports interview on his life in the North East in January.
Guimaraes is at a club in Newcastle United that are showing the ambition that players of his calibre should merit. He was labelled ‘world class’ by Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola after the two sides met earlier this month.
