Announced insistently in the viewfinder of PSG, Bruno Guimaraes should not set down his bags in the French capital this winter.
While the winter transfer window opened on January 1, Paris Saint-Germain is working to strengthen itself. After completing the arrival of the young 20-year-old Brazilian defender Lucas Beraldo, the Parisian decision-makers are reportedly looking for a midfielder.
In recent days, the name of Bruno Guimaraes has been associated with PSG. Highly appreciated by Luis Enrique, the Brazilian midfielder would even have been the subject of real interest from the residents of the Parc des Princes. Yes, but now, his club Newcastle does not intend to part with the player this winter and would have set his starting price at 115 million euros, the amount of his release clause. And if the Magpies would be ready to accept a payment spread over three seasons, they would not wish to negotiate this amount.
PSG cannot afford to splurge
This is why PSG will not recruit Guimaraes this winter, according to Brazilian media TNT Sports. The capital club would not want to engage in such an expensive operation otherwise it would put itself in difficulty with financial fair play. Indeed, Ile-de-France leaders must first sell to reduce the payroll of the workforce.
For his part, journalist Marcelo Bechler adds that the Rouge et Bleu are strongly conditioned on the future of Kylian Mbappé and cannot afford to do anything crazy until the future of the kid from Bondy has been decided. Therefore, Luis Campos and his teams could return to the charge for the former Lyonnais next summer.
