The 26-year-old signed a new contract at Newcastle last year which included a time-sensitive release clause that could be triggered between May and June 2024. Guimaraes has attracted interest from the likes of Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City.
City were understood to be considering triggering the release clause while PSG distanced themselves from a deal. Arsenal remain interested in the midfielder despite not triggering the clause.

The update comes after another disappointing international outing for Guimaraes and Brazil as they opened their Copa America group stage campaign with a 0-0 draw against Costa Rica. Guimaraes played the full 90 minutes for the five-time world champions, who have now gone a record five competitive matches without a win.
Next up for the midfielder and Brazil is Miguel Almiron’s Paraguay on June 28. Paraguay lost their opening group match 2-0 to Colombia with Almiron being substituted just before the hour mark.
The Newcastle winger has also been linked with a move away this summer after turning down a proposed move to Saudi Arabia back in January. The Saudi Pro League transfer window opens on July 17 with Newcastle right-back Kieran Trippier also linked with a move to the Gulf state.
