All summer, we’ve been bombarded with stories about Bruno Guimaraes moving to Manchester City. Whether it was for £100 million when his release clause was active or some other figure, or even today’s bizarre claims that City will loan us one of their starlets for a season to soften the blow, the rumor refuses to go away. Now, it seems the speculation might intensify in the coming days.
### Kevin De Bruyne’s Potential Move to Spark Bruno Guimaraes Rumors
TNT Sports reports that Man City’s midfield maestro Kevin De Bruyne has agreed personal terms with Saudi Pro League club Al-Ittihad, and Pep Guardiola is open to sanctioning the move. If that deal goes through, rumors that Bruno Guimaraes is City’s choice to replace De Bruyne will likely surge.
Regardless of the truth and whether Manchester City even make an inquiry, this is a headline we’re going to have to get used to seeing.
### Newcastle Fans Shouldn’t Worry Too Much
While Man City will have other targets to succeed De Bruyne, the fact that Pep has praised Bruno on several occasions is enough to fuel journalists’ imaginations. Newcastle fans should take comfort in the assurances given so far and brace themselves for the next wave of speculation.
It would take an outrageous offer for Newcastle to even consider letting Bruno go, especially to a Premier League rival. If City are willing to pay an astronomical fee, it would be foolish not to consider it. As much as we love Bruno, no player is bigger than the club. If Newcastle can secure well over £100 million for one player, it would be hard to turn down.
