Newcastle ‘set to offer Bruno Guimaraes whopping £200K A WEEK wages to stave off transfer interest from European giants’

NEWCASTLE could offer Chelsea and Real Madrid target Bruno Guimaraes £200,000 A WEEK to stay.

The fourth-placed Magpies have astonishing win stats when the Brazil midfielder plays.

Newcastle might offer Brazil midfielder Bruno Guimaraes a huge new contract amid interest from a string of top rivalsAnd the Evening Standard  claim Newcastle chiefs are keen to discuss a massive new contract with the 24-year-old.

The Toon anticipate huge interest in the eight-cap ace, starting in January.

And Guimaraes has emerged as the key man in Newcastle’s rise into the Champions League spots.

His all-action style has brought seven goals and three assists from 27 games.

And Newcastle’s win rate is 58 per cent with him – just 21 per cent without.

Guimareas cost £40million from Lyon ten months ago but has settled into the Premier League incredibly smoothly.

A string of European giants have been linked with the Rio-born grafter.

But so far it’s Chelsea and Real whose interest seems most serious.

The Blues are said to have already enquired about him.

That’s partly because Chelsea’s 30-plus midfielders N’Golo Kante and Jorginho are out of contract in the summer.

But Guimareas claims he wants to become a Newcastle “legend”;.

He recently said: “To change country, to change leagues, and in a World Cup year as well, it was a really hard decision.

“But I think it was the right one. I’m so happy. It’s an amazing step. I feel like a Geordie now.”;
