Bruno Guimaraes’ new contract with Newcastle United reportedly has a secret clause that allows him to join Spanish club Barcelona at a reduced price.

Guimaraes signed a five-year contract extension with the Magpies on October 7, 2023, which runs until June 30, 2023.

Bruno Guimaraes’ new contract includes a release clause of £100 million, however, there are reports in Spain indicating that Barcelona could sign him for a lesser price if they are interested in getting his services.

They claim that this clause will enable the Brazilian to sign for Barcelona for around £60 million, £40 million less than his release clause.

Guimaraes has apparently given the green light to the Blaugrana side in the past, but their current financial constraint means a move doesn’t look feasible for the time being.

These reports emanating from Spain claim that there is a release clause for Guimaraes and a lesser release clause for Barcelona.

The 25-year-old has made 68 appearances for Newcastle United, scoring 11 goals and providing 8 assists across all competitions.

Bruno Guimaraes joined the Magpies from Olympique Lyon on January 30, 2020, for a fee of €42.1 million.

Guimaraes appears to be focused on Eddie Howe’s side, and he isn’t keen on a move away from Newcastle United.

Speaking in an interview with Newcastle United after putting pen to paper on a contract extension, the Brazilian expressed that he is delighted to be playing for the club.

He said: “I’m absolutely delighted. The fans have made me feel at home since my first day here and I feel so loved in my life.”

Bruno Guimaraes also added that he hopes to keep delivering impressive performances for the English club.

The 25-year-old said: “I’m so happy here. It’s a place that is so comfortable to be and I hope to keep making the supporters happy and helping the team do well.

“That’s my goal, because there are no words to describe how happy I am to be here.”

The Brazil international was instrumental to Newcastle United qualifying for the UEFA Champions League for the first time in 20 years, as they ended the 2022/23 league campaign 4th.
