Newcastle is also considering the purchase of a major-name asset as part of its efforts to adhere to the premier league’s profit and sustainability laws. Since the saudi-backed takeover of st james’ park, more than £400 million has been invested in players, with newcastle losing £73 million for the 2022/23 season, with newcastle’s revenues remaining a long shot behind the premier league’s top teams. Guimaraes is considered one of the club’s most valuable players, and spanish outlet fichajes has reported that chelsea and liverpool could activate the brazilian’s release clause. Since joining newcastle from lyon for £40 million, the 26-year-old has been one of the premier league’s most influential midfielders. Guimaraes ranks sixth in the league for progressive passes, seventh for effective take-ons, and second for fouls drawn.
Guimaraes’ deal with newcastle has a €115 million (£98.9 million) release clause, with his selling one bringing in a lot of money, according to widely distributed sources. Barcelona has been praised for their efforts, but they are unlikely to be able to fulfill the financial demands of a deal, while paris saint-germain has also admired them.
