Manchester United are in advanced negotiations to sign Newcastle United captain Bruno Guimarães in a deal valued at approximately €80 million (£69 million), according to Reuters.
Sources close to the discussions indicate that talks between Manchester United and Newcastle United have intensified in recent days, with both clubs working toward an agreement that could see the Brazilian midfielder make a high-profile switch before the next transfer window closes. While no final deal has been signed, negotiations are understood to be progressing positively.
Guimarães has been a central figure for Newcastle since joining from Lyon in January 2022. Known for his technical ability, composure under pressure, and leadership qualities, he was named club captain and has played a pivotal role in Newcastle’s resurgence in domestic and European competitions. His performances have also made him a regular fixture in Brazil’s national team.
Manchester United, meanwhile, are keen to reinforce their midfield options following an inconsistent season.
Club officials reportedly view Guimarães as a transformative addition who can bring both defensive stability and creative distribution to the squad. The move aligns with United’s broader strategy of targeting players in their prime who can make an immediate impact.
Financial details remain under discussion, though the reported €80 million fee would make Guimarães one of the most expensive signings in United’s history. It is unclear whether the deal would include performance-related add-ons or structured payments, but such elements are typical in transfers of this scale.
Newcastle are believed to be reluctant to part with their captain, particularly given their long-term project and ambitions under their current ownership. However, the size of the proposed fee, combined with financial fair play considerations, could influence their final decision.
Neither club has issued an official statement regarding the negotiations, and representatives for the player have declined to comment. Should the transfer be completed, it would mark one of the standout deals of the window.
