Newcastle United’s Bruno Guimarães is reportedly a target for Paris Saint-Germain in the upcoming summer transfer window as they aim to bolster their midfield for the next season.
According to a recent report, PSG might hit a snag in their efforts to sign the player. Manchester City are also eyeing the Brazilian star as their top choice for a midfielder. Nonetheless, they also weigh options like Joshua Kimmich from Bayern Munich and Douglas Luiz from Aston Villa.
Manchester City’s strong interest might push the Parisians to aggressively pursue the Newcastle star. However, Graeme Bailey reports that the Ligue 1 side could plot a double swoop.
Per Bailey, PSG officials watched Bruno Guimarães in action against Manchester City last Saturday. Paris continues to monitor the Brazilian, who is becoming increasingly frustrated with Newcastle’s season. Additionally, PSG kept a close eye on Alexander Isak.

Guimarães will be in high demand, and his €117 million release clause is considered reasonable. Manchester City plans to pay it off in three installments of slightly over €39 million each, but they’re up against tough competition.
