Newcastle United is considering the possibility of offloading one of their prominent players to address financial concerns. Amidst speculation, it has been suggested that Bruno Guimaraes, a standout addition under the club’s current ownership, could be available for transfer. Magpies’ CEO Darren Eales acknowledged the club’s openness to selling a key player as a measure to navigate Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations.
According to a report from Football Transfers, Newcastle might entertain offers for Guimaraes, with a rumored £100 million release clause in his contract. The Brazilian midfielder’s preferred destinations are Real Madrid or Barcelona, with Newcastle reportedly willing to negotiate a departure for less than the stipulated release clause. Notably, other clubs like Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain, and Chelsea would need to meet the release clause if they are interested, while the Geordies consider Botman and Isak as ‘unsellable.’
Meanwhile, Jordan Henderson, who left Liverpool under controversial circumstances six months ago, is seeking an exit from Saudi Arabia due to the climate. Both Chelsea and Newcastle, in need of a holding midfielder, have been linked to the England international. However, a new contender has emerged in Juventus, as reported by Gianluca Di Marzio. The Italian giants are exploring the possibility of an 18-month loan agreement with Henderson, with discussions already initiated with his camp. Juventus might need to sell players, with Moise Kean mentioned as a potential name in the equation.
In other football news, former Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is reportedly in talks with the Swedish Football Federation (SvFF) about potentially taking on the role of the national team manager. While Solskjaer expressed interest in the position during a meeting last month, it remains unclear if he is still keen on the job. The SvFF is taking its time considering candidates, and although they cannot match Solskjaer’s previous salary, the former United manager is being considered for the role. Other candidates, including Blackburn Rovers boss Jon Dahl Tomasson, have also been in contact with the SvFF.
