Guardiola is "obsessed" with signing a Premier League star

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has set his sights on signing Newcastle's leading midfielder, Bruno Guimarães.

According to Fichajes, the City boss is impressed by the Magpies' leader and is literally "obsessed" with the idea of bringing the midfielder to the team.

It is expected that the player will cost no less than £85 million. Additionally, according to some reports in the media, the player's contract includes a buyout clause of £100 million.

The former Lyon player arrived in the Premier League in January 2022 for £40 million. In the Newcastle team, the Brazilian has played 97 matches, scoring 13 goals and providing assists.

26-year-old Guimarães has played 20 matches for the Brazilian national team and scored 1 goal for the Seleção.

Earlier reports indicated that Manchester City is dissatisfied with the lack of progress from a winger and is ready to sell him.
