Liverpool are one of several clubs that have been sounded out over a potential move for Bruno Guimaraes this summer, according to TeamTalk, as doubts continue to rise over the midfielder's future at Newcastle United.
The Brazilian has emerged as a potential target for the Reds as they consider their options for the central ranks over the course of the transfer window.
Alex Scott has been linked with a reunion with Andoni Iraola, as the Liverpool boss looks to inject some energy and pace into his team in the middle of the park.
Aside from him, there may be a move for Bruno Guimaraes on the cards that could open up a path towards a surprising big-money signing.

According to a report from TeamTalk, Liverpool are among a whole host of clubs who have been contacted about a possible move for Guimaraes.
It comes after reports claimed that Arsenal had made an offer for the Brazilian midfielder, who has entered the final two years under contract at St. James' Park.
However, they clearly aren't alone, as Liverpool have seemingly been sounded out as a possible destination by intermediaries, along with Manchester City, Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Barcelona.
As it stands, Newcastle don't wish to lose the 28-year-old, who has made 195 appearances for the club since joining from Lyon back in 2022.
However, the growing uncertainty surrounding Guimaraes's future means that an exit could be inevitable this summer, as teams prepare to make a possible offer to the Magpies.
It's unclear whether Liverpool will be one of those teams lining up a move following the contact for the midfielder, but it would prove to be another sign of intent from the Anfield outfit if they could get a deal over the line.

Despite being described as "one of the best midfielders in the world", there may be some concerns surrounding any Liverpool move for Guimaraes this summer.
The Reds are already preparing to spend upwards of £100 million to sign Yan Diomande this summer as their number-one choice to succeed Mohamed Salah on the right flank, which is likely to take up the majority of the club's budget.
Add to that the huge signings of Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz last summer, both of whom broke the Premier League transfer record one after the other, and it's clear that Liverpool's squad starts to look top-heavy with its financial investments.

Adding Guimaraes into the mix, who is already 28, and it becomes tough to see the long-term planning that comes from making such a huge transfer.
It makes a deal unlikely, with Liverpool expected to turn towards budget options who they can maximise the value out of while building towards the future.
