In a recent report, Fichajes revealed that Manchester City are determined to land Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes. It has been claimed that Man City are eager to reinforce their squad by recruiting the Brazilian midfield ace in the summer.
Guimaraes’ Impressive Form In Premier League Football
Guimaraes has enjoyed a solid campaign at St. James’ Park as he has managed to put in a run of impressive performances at the heart of Eddie Howe’s midfield. The 26-year-old has found the back of the net three times and secured seven assists in 40 matches for the Magpies this season across all competitions.
The Brazil international has been a decent performer at both ends of the field based on his average of 2.0 tackles, 0.9 interceptions, 0.6 clearances, 1.1 shots, 1.5 key passes and 1.8 dribbles per game in the Premier League. He has been careful when distributing the ball from midfield after making 86.1% of his attempted passes in the English first division (stats via whoscored).
Guimaraes is under contract at Newcastle until the summer of 2028. Hence, Man City would have to make a big offer if they are serious about signing the Brazilian at the end of this season.
Is Guimaraes A Good Choice For Manchester City?
Guimaraes is a tough-tackling midfielder who can read the danger well to secure the ball back for his team in the middle of the park. He doesn’t hesitate to clear the danger when needed and can strike the ball with venom and accuracy from long range. The Brazilian sensation has got the eye to play some decisive passes in the final third and can make a few clever runs with the ball from midfield.
We can expect Guimaraes to bring quality to Man City boss Pep Guardiola‘s midfield department. He has what it takes to earn a regular starting place at the Etihad Stadium next season and might go on to form a dominant midfield partnership with Rodri at the Mancunian club.
At 26, Guimaraes is about to enter his prime which makes him an excellent choice for Pep Guardiola to consider at the end of this campaign. He already knows the Premier League well and won’t take any time to adjust to life at Man City.
