Barça is clear that it must sign a pivot this coming summer, although there is a name that already seems to be ruled out for that operation for several reasons.
The farewell of Sergio Busquets of the FC Barcelona after 15 years in the first team forces to the Barcelona entity to attend to the market of signings to close the incorporation of a new mediocentro, one that besides was consolidated in the maximum level. Thus the culés have had in his diary to several names and one of those has been the one of Bruno Guimaraes.
The mediocampista of 25 years had been planted like aim of the Barça by several means of England, where the player has fulfilled with his first season in the Newcastle and surely has been the most important footballer of the staff. The 'urracas' finished classifying to the Champions League, all a milestone for the institution, and the new project seems increasingly solid, by what take out to his best player seems an impossible task.
The culés have not wanted to lose neither a minute in considering it
In fact, several English means had ensured that the offer had to be 100 million euros by the Brazilian, a figure that simply is impossible for the Barcelona team. Thus, 'Sport' has explained this Wednesday that when knowing his high value of market, the Barça 'happened' to consider much more to Guimaraes in the table of his technical office, where value to names like Zubimendi or Amrabat, in addition to Rúben Neves.
The so high assessment of the Brazilian footballer goes through the fact that it arrived to the Newcastle, pertinent of the Olympique Lyon, in January of 2022 by 42 million euros and since his value of market (according to Transfermarkt) has elevated until the 60 'kilos'. With this in consideration, added to a club that does not need to sell, his signing by the Barça and almost any another team seems descartado.
His continuity is increasingly clear-cut
To complicate all even more the own English club is negotiating the extension of the agreement of the player, which finalises in 2026, and for this has put a wage of 10 net millions by season for the mediocampista. With these conditions, added to the classification to the Champions and the possibility to follow improving the team, Guimaraes seems that will have for several years more in St. James Park.
