Nucasol Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Bruno Guimaraes, 25, has a clause in his new contract at Newcastle United that would allow the Brazil midfielder to join Barcelona for a fee of 65-70m euros (£56.4m-£60.7m). (Sport - in Spanish) On the BBC’s Sunday gossip column: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/67110906. Presuming we’d have to miss out on Europe, can’t see us agreeing to shite like that.

ExiledGeordie Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Sounds like absolute horse shit to me. Hes just signed a new contact, im sure he’ll be here for a couple more seasons yet after this one and then yes he’ll probably go to Spain and we’ll use the money likely 100m+ to improve the team again.

Erikse Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 (edited) When a rumor about the contract we literally just signed with Bruno is supposed to get Barca fans all excited, you know it doesn't make sense. We don't do charity for other clubs. Edited October 15, 2023 by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erikse Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Fab keeps saying the clause is £100m. I hope it's not just £100m without any other condition.. Feels like a waste when we can potensially get a little more. Would like to know if there's any other conditions, and also what they are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 I'm not worried about the clause, like. In addition to a club wanting him and bidding that, he also has to want to make the move happen. There's probably only about 2-3 clubs I could see him ever being tempted by, and £100m is a fair fee given he'd likely be 27-28ish by the time that happened. The other midfielders going in the £100m bracket seem to be 21-24ish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
