Newcastle What more can you ask for than playing Bruno Guimaraes, results and a gold contract? Well, Lucas Paqueta.

During an interview with the media of the club, now ranked 11th in the Premier League, Bruno Guimaraes replied to the journalist, asking which player he would like to see arrive at Newcastle. “Ah, Lucas Paqueta. He is my brother, my best friend and I get on very well with him. We have the same view of things, we are the same age and we were together every day. We always took care of each other. He is like a new member of my family that football would have given me. declared the former Gones in the direction of his compatriot who stayed at OL, and under contract until June 2025.

The Magpies entered a new phase recently with the arrival of a Saudi public investment fund. If the last winter transfer window was cut solely according to staying in the elite, with the arrivals of Matt Targett, Dan Burn, Kieran Trippier, Joe Willock and Chris Wood, the next transfer window could be made to Europe and Bruno Paqueta fits right in that box . Aimed at by PSG, the Brazilian is being targeted by Newcastle who are willing to give 57 million euros to Olympique Lyonnais to reform the Guimaraes-Paqueta pair. Sided out when he arrived out of tenure, Bruno Guimaraes is now thriving with six appearances in the starting line-up over the last seven games, punctuated by three goals and an assist. At Olympique Lyonnais, the situation is critical for the Gones, still beaten this Wednesday in Brest, and clearly unleashed in the race for Europe with eighth in Ligue 1. Leaving Newcastle, a logical choice? Yes, for the Brazilian people who dream of seeing their duo shine in the biggest championship in the world. “Here in Brazil we encourage Newcastle to sign Lucas Paquetá. He and Bruno Guimarães form a magical duo that will bring much glory to the club. said one user on Twitter.
