Manchester City planning to acquire Bruno Guimaraes

Amid speculation of his departure from the Premier League next year, Manchester City's manager is expressing interest in acquiring the services of the Brazilian midfielder. The esteemed coach, formerly with Barcelona and Bayern Munich, is on the verge of completing his eighth season at the Etihad Stadium.

Having secured five Premier League titles during his tenure, he recently guided his team to a Champions League triumph, completing a treble last season. According to reports from Spanish publication Fichajes, Guardiola is actively monitoring potential summer transfers, with a particular focus on securing the Brazilian international. In the January 2022 transfer window, Newcastle United successfully outbid Arsenal to secure the midfielder's signature for approximately £40 million. Fichajes further reports that the Manchester City manager is "obsessed" with acquiring Guimaraes and estimates the potential cost of securing the Newcastle United star to be around £85 million.
