Newcastle's message to PSG after Bruno Guimaraes interest revealed in new report

According to a recent report from ESPN Brazil, PSG have identified Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes as a priority target in 2024.

Marcelo Bechler - a journalist from TNT Sports Brazil - then added that Bruno has a £100m release clause in his new contract, claiming it can be paid in three instalments.

However, a new report from Sports Zone details Newcastle's response to PSG's interest, claiming we have zero intention of negotiating a mid-season deal for the midfielder; and rightly so. It's also suggested that his heft release clause will only become active from the summer onwards.

ESPN add that tensions between PSG's Qatari-backed owners and Newcastle's Saudi regime could make a deal difficult to complete, while Eddie Howe has no intention of allowing his star man to leave.

When asked about PSG's reported interest prior to Saturday's Tyne-Wear derby, Howe said: “When you are talking about your best players you want to keep them at the football club as long as possible so that is certainly our aim.”
