Newcastle player is now ‘furious’, Barcelona are ready to sell Lewandowski to sign him

Newcastle United experienced a significant setback on Wednesday night as AC Milan’s comeback victory not only eliminated them from the Champions League but also marked the conclusion of their European campaign. Despite a commendable performance in Europe this season, Eddie Howe’s team, facing a challenging group and an injury crisis, ended up at the bottom after defeating Paris Saint-Germain at St James’ Park, a result that is undeniably disappointing.

Bruno Guimaraes to Barcelona: Newcastle transfer latest

Recent reports indicate growing dissatisfaction among key players with the team’s early exit from Europe. According to Football Transfers, Bruno Guimaraes, who signed a new contract with the club in October, is reportedly “furious” about the situation and may consider offers from other clubs if Newcastle fails to secure a return to top-tier European competition. Barcelona, previously linked with Guimaraes during the summer, is reportedly ready to make a move for the midfielder. There are even suggestions that Barcelona might sell Robert Lewandowski to raise funds for the potential acquisition of Guimaraes, who has a reported £100m release clause in his contract.

Despite Guimaraes expressing his love for playing at Newcastle on numerous occasions, the prospect of competing at the highest European level seems to be a driving factor for him. While it’s challenging to view Newcastle’s exit solely as a personal affront to Guimaraes, the presence of a release clause in his contract raises the possibility that another club could trigger it. If Newcastle is unable to meet his aspirations, a move to a club like Barcelona could become enticing.

Bruno Guimaraes: Newcastle transfer will surely happen

It’s important to acknowledge that players often leave clubs they adore, and this is a common occurrence in top-level football. While Guimaraes has spoken positively about his experience at Newcastle, the dynamics of the sport may lead to unforeseen changes, even for players with strong connections to their current clubs.
