Man Utd Nearing £69m Deal for Newcastle Star Following Casemiro’s Recommendation
Manchester United are in advanced negotiations to sign Newcastle captain Bruno Guimaraes, according to reports. Sources say the clubs are discussing a €80m deal, about £69m.
Transfer negotiations
Reuters reports United have opened talks with Newcastle over the midfielder. Man Utd nearing £69m deal has been widely circulated in recent coverage.
The move gains extra weight after Casemiro’s recommendation. Casemiro, who will leave Old Trafford this summer, reportedly described Guimaraes as an ideal successor.
Player background and form
Guimaraes is 28 years old and captains Newcastle United. He joined the club from Lyon in 2022 for £40 million.
He is currently sidelined with a hamstring problem. Newcastle have managed just two wins from 16 Premier League matches without him since his arrival four years ago.
Interest from other clubs
Real Madrid are also said to be monitoring the situation. Carlo Ancelotti, now Brazil’s national coach, has praised Guimaraes in conversations with his former club.
Contract and club context
Guimaraes is under contract at Newcastle until 2028. That expiry date could shape any transfer fee and club stance.
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe addressed other transfer rumours this week. He rejected suggestions that Sandro Tonali will leave, stressing the midfielder’s commitment to the team.
What happens next
Negotiations could intensify over the coming weeks. Both United and Real Madrid will likely assess fitness, fee, and timing before any agreement.
