Newcastle could get just €38.6m for Bruno Guimaraes this month if he joins PSG due to secret contract clause
Paris Saint-Germain want to sign Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes after his contract clause emerged.
The Brazil international signed for the Magpies from Lyon in a £40 million deal in January 2022 and has gone on to play 85 times in all competitions, scoring 11 goals.
He was instrumental in the club securing qualification to the Champions League this season and his importance to Eddie Howe’s side cannot be overstated.
However, the 26-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to PSG, who were in Newcastle’s Champions League group.
The former Athletico Paranaense man hasn’t given his green light to a potential move yet and that will be key to negotiations advancing.
Guimaraes has a €116 million release clause in his Newcastle contract, which was signed in October and lasts until 2028.
However, it’s claimed that upon being activated, the release clause can be paid in three separate installments.
It means that PSG could feasibly pay €38.6 million this month to bring Guimaraes back to Ligue One, before paying the same figure on a further two occasions.
Guimaraes is represented by Giuliano Bertulucci, who also looks after compatriot Marquinhos, who is PSG’s captain.
