Grealish’s passport accounts for a fair mark-up. Perhaps a club will be crackers enough to bid £100m+ for Bruno. I doubt it though. Liverpool were bidding not a kick in the arse off that for Caicedo so it wasn't just one club. If Grealishs passport accounted for so much it would happen more.

If Grealish was any other nationality then Man City aren’t paying £100m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 The clubs that are allowed to buy direct from Brazil probably think there’s better value buying direct. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, seemed batshit to me and the time and remains batshit today. I don’t think anyone will bid £100m+ for Bruno, so I’d be surprised if he isn’t here next season. I think I’d be less confident next summer if we don’t have a really good season next year though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems batshit to me but others set the going rate. I dont think any footballer is worth more than a couple of million and certainly not worth some of the ridiculous fees they get but I dont set the market. Agree about being confident of his being here next season but I think the season after we may be looking to sell more so.

GeordieToon Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 https://www.nufcblog.co.uk/2024/06/17/new-twist-in-bruno-guimaraes-saga-espn-issue-man-city-update-ahead-of-100m-cut-off/ New twist in Bruno Guimaraes saga – ESPN issue Man City update ahead of £100m cut-off Only a week left on Brunos £100m clause ESPN have issued an update on Bruno Guimaraes’ future, pointing towards some potentially good news for Newcastle United. Rob Dawson – ESPN’s chief correspondent in Manchester – reports that Man City are considering a move for Bruno if one of Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva or Matheus Nunes asks to leave this summer. However, his sources have told ESPN that the Premier League champions value the Brazilian below his £100m release clause. This clause is only valid for another week and is due to expire on Monday 24th June, meaning Newcastle United can then dictate any asking price and demand in excess of £100m for the final two months of the summer window. So, if Man City are only prepared to sign Bruno if a key player leaves and value him below the £100m clause price, it seems increasingly likely that the 26-year-old will be going nowhere. It’s previously been reported that Arsenal can no afford to meet his current buyout clause and that PSG are ‘out of the race’ for the South American, who is currently away with the Brazilian national team ahead of Copa America. Speaking about his £100m clause last month, Eddie Howe said: “Having that [cut-off point] was well planned and structured in the sense that there’s a finish point,” Newcastle manager Eddie Howe said last month. “We don’t want a summer of speculation. I don’t think that would be healthy for the player or for us.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegans Export Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Presumably Man City will hope we buckle and accept less than £100m once the deadline passes. Hopefully once we get to 00:01 on 1st July Bruno falls into the same category as Isak and someone will have to stump up nearer £200m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjmc Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 (edited) I know it was only rumour but didn't city get put off westham wanting 80/90m for paqueta? Obviously before the betting thing came out. Sometimes the value to the current team is more than what they would be worth if there was 3 or 4 similar players for sale around. Ultimately as people have said we are compensated massively or he stays whether or not that constitutes a fair deal for the other club I guess I don't care. I hope he gives us another year and we can maybe get ourselves back into the champions league. Edited June 17 by nufcjmc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Just another little thing but all builds up in what would make him the perfect club captain. Seems well loved in the squad and he loves everyone.

Guest Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Just seems to get it and involves everyone from his mate Joelinton, new players like Tonali, to the players nearer 25th best in the squad. That's before considering the way he dragged our midfield almost single handedly for a large chunk of the season. Think he's became my favourite NUFC player in my lifetime since Christmas. Just a brilliant footballer and player to have here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
