Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on Bruno Guimaraes’ situation at Newcastle United, downplaying the possibility of a decision on his future being made in this January transfer window.
Speaking exclusively to CaughtOffside for their Daily Briefing column, Romano responded to some recent transfer rumors involving Guimaraes and a possible big move to the likes of Barcelona or Real Madrid.
The Brazilian has been excellent in his time at Newcastle and would be a big loss for the Magpies, but it seems fans don’t have much to worry about at the moment.
“Despite the rumors, there is now nothing clear about Bruno Guimaraes. Bruno has not decided to leave, nothing has been decided in terms of price, all reports regarding Spanish clubs are not confirmed simply because the time has not come to make decisions. Bruno is expected to stay in January and then in the next few months we will see what happens,” Romano said.

There has also been speculation that Newcastle may have to sell other star names such as Alexander Isak for Financial Fair Play reasons.
