Newcastle could be about to be offered swap deal plus cash for their £40m player

Barcelona is now expressing a lot of interest in one Newcastle United player, whom their sporting director is a big fan of.

PSG has already been identified as a likely possibility to bid for Bruno Guimaraes, but Barcelona has now entered the picture despite their financial difficulties.

According to Foot Mercato, Barcelona director Deco admires the Brazilian and wants to bring him to the club, but they may need to work out a player swap agreement to make the move possible.

Barcelona could offer Newcastle a player and cash

 

 

Bruno’s recent contract, signed earlier this season, notably contains a release clause valued at around £100m, a sum that only a handful of clubs worldwide could realistically manage.

Among these clubs, PSG stands out and has displayed an interest in acquiring the midfielder for the French capital. However, it remains uncertain whether Bruno himself is enthusiastic about such a transfer.

Speculation leans toward the likelihood of Newcastle’s key player considering a move to Barcelona or Real Madrid if given the opportunity. Yet, the prevailing notion is that Madrid doesn’t perceive a need for him, while Barcelona might face financial constraints in securing his services.

This report hints at the possibility of a deal involving a player from Barcelona as a part of the arrangement. Raphinha’s departure has been linked, and Newcastle has shown interest, but the specific player involved in the potential swap remains undisclosed.

 

Newcastle need a big sale to progress

Newcastle fans, especially in this challenging phase of the season, might find it disheartening, but the potential departure of a crucial player seems increasingly likely at the moment.

Speculation has surfaced suggesting that either Bruno, Alexander Isak, or Sven Botman could be put on the market to generate funds for a significant reinvestment in the team.

While not an absolute necessity, the club might find it challenging to sustain competitiveness without parting ways with a valuable asset in the near future. This constraint could limit their spending in the upcoming seasons.

Although Barcelona’s potential offer might not match the club’s financial expectations, a substantial £100m bid from PSG could prompt serious deliberations within Newcastle regarding a transfer.
