Barcelona ‘believe’ they can sign £87m Newcastle United man

According to a report from HITC, via The Times, Barcelona are interested in signing Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle United in the summer transfer window. The original article reportedly claims that the Spanish club believe they could land the BRazilian for €100 million (£87 million) in the summer.

It is also claimed that if the La Liga champions are unable to meet Newcastle’s asking price they could try to convince Guimaraes to “reject approaches from other suitors with a promise to bring him to the Nou Camp in one year’s time”. The 25-year-old midfielder has scored four goals in 31 appearances for the Magpies this season.
